not coping

[Sans911]

It was a paid advocacy position @outlander. I probably couldn't have done it anyway as it was too many hours. Still gutted though. For all the stuff I do for others, it doesn't make me feel fulfilled. It lacks recognition in the real world. I almost feel my working time is completely over

[outlander]

sometimes we have to do something for ourselves @Sans911 helping others is great but it doesnt often feel the same as having a paid job.
unfortunatly i feel the same, i dont know how much longer ill be working either at this rate.

i use to approach some of the smaller bussinesses with only one staff member. sometimes a second staff member isnt thought of till ots offerred. disability is screaming for workers esp in nsw if you want to fly over here! you could even use your nursing skills on Mable. not sure if youve heard of that?

[Sans911]

Yes exactly @outlander. You said that so well. I don't want to disability support work. Yes, aware of Mable. I'm still looking at self-employment options. Just everything takes time to happen

[outlander]

yeah i dont want to do this job much anymore either @Sans911 wanted out before but i dont have really much choice now.

what sort of stuff are you looking into? i have or well i did have my own bussiness. getting an ABN is easy and free. takes like 10 minutes

[Sans911]

I already have a business name & abn @outlander. I'm just waiting on a mentor program.

[outlander]

thats amazing @Sans911 im sure your bussiness will be successful
can i ask what industry it is in

[Sans911]

Same @outlander. Advocacy and mh, disability support. But it's a bit complicated to set up due to some ndis legalities.

[outlander]

ndis is so overly complicated @Sans911 its abit of a pain. hopefully it can get set up soon

[outlander]

how doyou find the strength to keep going @Sans911

[Sans911]

Sometimes I don't have that strength lil Sis @outlander. Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth fighting for. Because that's I all I seem to do. And I'm so tired of it all.

But I guess I look for the rainbow behind the clouds. And that reminds me that life still has beauty and colour.
