I think goal setting would be helpful and hopefully improve confidence & self esteem @outlander.

Love your drawings @outlander good to see you, thanks for the callout. About goal setting - @Former-Member has a thread somewhere for people list their 'Daily Goals & Motivation" I think its called. Also, found this pictograph to help you set some goals to address the different parts of your life, for balance. But make small steps first, achievable goals so you are not discouraged. Just move fwd, no matter how slow. Proud of you 🙂

hi @Former-Member thank you for the pic diagram that helps abit too.
im abit lost really. im not use to having time to do the things i want to do. its really foreign to me to take care of myself. i will always take care of others, that wont change but the amount of everything that is expected of me is reduced.
and thanks again, youve been a big part of this journey
