I’ve been working a job that’s been going really well for me! Im making enough money to even save for my partner and I to take a really nice vacation this year :) my partner had been really taking care of all of our  finances since I wasn’t approved for disability while I was out of work for almost 2 years (total bs). 

 It really had a heavy toll on me to be so reliant on someone, even if they were super supportive and understanding. We were barely keeping a roof over our heads though. I feel so fortunate to have found a job, and I can work however many hours that I’m comfortable with, my boss always asks me before scheduling me more than 15-20 hours which is super nice. The job itself can be draining some days, but I have enough time off to recoup.

I also love my coworkers, it’s super nice to have people to talk outside of my small friend group, especially since I also deal with agoraphobia and severe anxiety. It took over a year of therapy and staying stable on the right medication, but I feel so good to have branched out, without going too far out of my comfort zone!
