I’m n my 10th month of going back to work full time. I’m proud of myself and u see myself going for many more years until I retire. Working as a peer support specialist is so gratifying u guys might want to check into doing this. As much as we learn about sz and mental illness in general why notvsjare it with other people.

Congratulations and good luck with your job! Peer support worker is a great thing, just be cautious about the boundaries otherwise you may find it difficult to separate from the experiences of your clients. It can be quite draining and there might be a risk of losing the identity: professional vs patient. Look after yourself and get plenty of support for yourself as well if you need it…
Congratulations. I am going to try to go back to work in a couple months too.
Good advice Lara thanks!
