Better than last time I commented on this thread! My gastritis has taken a turn for the better which has had a huge positive effect on my mood. I got some extra hours in work too, after working part time for ages due to being sick. I'm hoping to pick up some private students for online lessons after the summer to earn some more money so I can move out of my house which has been the plan since 2020 but it's been delayed at every turn 😭 2025 is going to be my year... Possibly

The gastritis is..... bad. And I'm tired of working through the pain. But my friend made me dinner this evening which was amazing because I'm so tired of making food that's suitable for me to eat.

Never take ibuprofen on an empty stomach.

I just dived into some Linklater too! I watched Before Sunrise and Me and Orson Welles. I love Linklater's portrayals of youthful optimism. They make me excited for the future.

Yo ni soy de Chile, solo estoy aquí porque no he encontrado ninguna otra comunidad hispanohablante.

Having lots of free time is key. For me, that free time affords me all the time I need for all those self care activities that suffer when I'm working full time, like showering and sleeping and keeping my living space somewhat tidy. I don't know how people manage that when they're working full time!!

I have a lot of lawyers in my social circle and this is definitely the case! I wonder if the "strong sense of justice" trait also attracts a lot of neurodivergent people to the industry initially.

 

I've been in and out of so many different jobs. Usually I get to a point where I burn out and just can't go in anymore. Best job I ever had was as a tour guide in a distillery telling people facts all day and working with what I now realise was a whole bunch of other neurodivergent people. Only left that because I wasn't paid enough to live. Honestly could have stayed there forever otherwise. Such is life!

Currently in the middle of a career change after realising the whole 9-5 office job life isnt sustainable for me. I'm hoping to be able to work for myself soon and not be beholden to other people's schedules!

What jobs have you tried out over the years? What has worked well for ye?

I'm car free for financial reasons too haha! There's also a decent car sharing app where I live which I can use when I really need a car, like for going out to the countryside or moving something bulky. Between the upkeep of my bike, public transport tickets and occasionally renting a shared car, the cost of getting around is really low!
