Planet Me

by Ghostranch

Rated: GC · Book · Experience · #1977783

My 2nd blog! An account of my life as I try to recover from (or manage) mental illness.

Planet Me

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Hello, I'm Ghostranch

, also known as Jess. Welcome to my second blog, which is a continuation of my first blog, "Invalid Item"

. Here I will keep writing about my life as I work hard to recover from various mental health conditions and turn things around, hopefully achieving my ultimate dream of being able to find and hold down a job.* I'll be honest, things will get ugly in here at times! That is the nature of mental illness and I use blogging as an emotional outlet to cope with this. I hope my faithful reader(s) will continue on this journey with me and that any new readers who happen to stumble upon this strange planet won't be too freaked out and will actually decide to stay. All are welcome here! I'll try not to be overly crazy!

*I actually achieved this in February 2015, becoming a part-time Support Worker. Then in October 2015 I got a new job as a Clinical Support Worker and have been working full-time when my health permits. My goal now is to maintain this job and study a MSc Psychology Conversion course in September with a view to becoming a Clinical Psychologist or a Social Worker. It's a BIG dream! Sometimes I feel like I can do it, and sometimes I don't. I suppose only time will tell!

I'm docked at "Blog Harbor from The Talent Pond" , a safe port for bloggers to connect.

Just 'cause you're not here doesn't mean you're gone

You always have a home and family here. I do hope your life has settled down and that you'll be back soon. You are missed.

I would say talking to your union is a fantastic next step. They should be able to give you some good advice on what you can do and how to do it. Remember, breaks and hours are scheduled for a reason, so don't feel like you're being unreasonable.

It's so good to hear you happy! I love that your new flat is working out, and I can't express how awesome it is to hear that work is going well. Yay you!

Definitely don't close your account. We're patient people, and even if all we get right now are these snippets, it's great to hear from you and catch up on what's been happening with you.

Happy Mom's Day 2024!

Your LL sounds like a nightmare, I never have that problem in my house, my landlord or agent sorts things out in a matter of a few days when they go wrong. I'm glad u found a nice new place, good luck with the move x

Hey Jess, good luck with the move. Patrick and I moved house a couple of months ago, and it was a lot of work but like you said, it's worth it. Everything is fresh when you move to a new place. The kids like it too because there's heaps more room. I hope it all goes well, and it's nice to be able to see your blog posts again!
