Hello! I’m Aggie.
Prior to the deterioration of my health resulting in me leaving work, I was a nurse working in MH rehab services. I left work because of my health in 2021 and I’m struggling a bit, both with accepting my new reality and mourning the loss of my career.
Looking forward to getting to know others on here ☺️

Hey there @AgnesTheodore and welcome to the community!
I'm sorry to hear you're mourning the loss of your career, change can be stupidly hard. Can I just ask, do you have friends or family there to support you?
If you just wanted to chat and get to know some of us, I highly recommend our coffee lounge, it's full of lovely people.

Hello! Thank you for the welcome.I do indeed. My family are very supportive, I’m extremely lucky. It’s just very saddening that something I love doing so much is no longer possible. I’m sure after a period I will be able to find new fulfilling activities, just the time between now and then may be a little bumpy.Thank you again.

You're most welcome @AgnesTheodore and I can empathise. My health conditions have meant a complete life overhaul, but after a period of mourning, things are starting to seem ok. Just be gentle with yourself and allow the feelings to be recognised.
