I really like this attitude of making the best of the time you have. I would very much like to be in that phase of preparing for working. Right now I feel like losing some weight and focusing on my physical fitness will get me closer to working so that’s what I’ve been trying to work towards. I just fight for the motivation. You sound like you’ve tapped into some motivation somehow so that’s great ish, I’m really proud of you.

I wish you all the best, ish. Take all the time you need to feel better. Don’t rush yourself. Gather as much support around you as you need. I know the NHS does what it can to help, and with the attitude you’ve got, I know you can do this. Every day a little further forward, another stepwise improvement is a win. Keep going!
