I decided to go back to the center because there isn't a lot of landscaping to do in the winter and I need work as part of my "therapy". I am only working part-time there like I do with the landscaping and when landscaping picks up, I hope to do both.
I was dealing with dad's death and on FMLA(family and medical leave act) when I resigned but alot of my resignation had to do with a bully (an equal co-worker) and as you may remember, that was one of the triggers that lead to my initial break (major depressive episode). I did not have to deal with that; didn't want to deal with the "channels" and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to do landscaping.
I just read this post now! It is wonderful to hear that you are back and work and loving it! I love hearing you doing well, you are an awesome person, you deserve to be happy!
I went back to work at the Center. It is a good thing. I love it and forgot how much I loved it. I also liked the landscaping though. I do like using my education even if a bit underemployed. I talked to my old boss (he got a promotion) and he is going to do my supervision for me to get my CADC (certified alcohol and drug counselor). I'm excited about this as I let all my certifications - go; when I was depressed. I can get them back - but earning a NEW one will make me feel good; the others I can get back with $$$ and a test I've already passed once.
I'll be torn when landscaping starts back again.
OH btw, I've thinking 'bout you folks who live "up" North. I don't know how you do it. It's been cold here (for us) in the 30's and I'm freezing! And the winds been blowing and well, y'all got something going on that I ain't to be able to put up with it!
