I start work/course tomorrow for the first time in 8 years

Since my second psychotic episode in 2010 I have not worked or been in college.

I start working tomorrow two days a week in a dog groomers to train. I’m feeling quite nervous. It’s quite far out and I have to catch the train but I’ve done the journey once already so I know where it is.

I really hope I enjoy it because I’d like to see myself setting up in the garage further down the line.

Good luck! Stay focused and try to filter out any hallucinations. I wish you the best. It sounds like a low stress job, and you get to work with animals, that sounds fun.

Thanks everyone. I’m at the train station now ready and prepared for the day and feeling quite nervous about the journey.

Can’t wait to see all the dogs though today.

I started a job two days a week, and I got used to it for a year and I gradually increased my time there.

It’s great to have something to do, and the money is good as well.

Wish you best of luck. Was the best decision I ever made to go back to work.

And working with animals as well must be a good thing!

Proud that your trying. Keep stress lo and enjoy yourself. Be kind and just have some confidence in yourself and your abilities. You can do this and you can do it well. More power to you and let us know how you go!

My first day went really well. I groomed two dogs. Learned health and safety laws and I’m not even tired. It’s been a full day and I didn’t get tired.

Back in again tomorrow.
