Hi

Hi there,

I've just joined sane, and looking for people in a similar situation, I had some traumatic experiences and wasn't until I experienced my first unemployment experience that I had time to realise how I was travelling, I got help and have been doing well for 20 years with some disruptions, now I'm out of the workforce again due to injury and dealing with the depression of an uncertain future, I have gained much tho over the years and looking to provide support as well as hear of those who may be able to provide lived experience, hope for the future!

Re: Hi

Hey @Fahyea,

I see that you're navigating some big feelings of uncertainty relating to your future. I want to offer you some company in these feelings.

I have experienced a lot of unemployment relating to injury and mental health turbulence and understand what it can be like to feel overwhelm in this space.

I'd be open to sharing around some of my challenges and achievements in navigating this, and would be interested to hear about any of yours that you'd feel comfortable sharing.

It's beautiful to see that from the midst of a set of difficult circumstances you are here seeking connection, and that you're offering your insight and lived experience expertise on these forums. Welcome friend.

Thanks thyme,

I'm into trivia and music, watch quiz shows and listen and collect tunes and other music interests, I'm starting a new hobby - fishing! Got a kit from Kmart for 40$, not bad! And you?

Re: Hi

It sounds like your proactive attitude and commitment to self are strengths that really support your navigation.

I'm inspired by the way you frame that you're looking forward to overcoming the challenges that you are currently navigating. I personally am looking forward to seeing your future contributions in the forums @Fahyea.

Re: Hi

Many thanks mo,

Hope you have the chance to rise from the challenges facing you, sometimes I just have to realise there will always be problems, so I just try to think about the challenges Im able to face, sometimes there's no information for issues and I go in blind, quite often I mess up, hopefully the people around me are the kind that realise that we are human and were not meant to be perfect, even though the world asks us of that every day
