Breaking down mentally

Career shift

Good for you, Ant! I was a social worker in my "former life". Since I "retired", I did a lot of volunteering, mostly in the social service and early childhood fields. I do quite a bit less volunteering, in recent years.

But, yes -- I expect that it will be a very rewarding career. It might not always, however, be less stressful.

Anything is better than manual labour and the stress of an aging body, 37 is still young and full of energy but will wear me down more and more as the years go on. I just want to sit in an office and counsel the you youth with my experience, it could’ve valuable to some, and I’m not an old man and still can relate.

There are some amazing programs in the US for Restorative Justice and I´ve seen a cool documentary about putting it into practice. The tools you learn to help youth will also help you center and calm yourself. The compassion you are developing for yourself due to MS will be obvious in how you relate to others with compassion.
