I never thought I would start working again, and I did, but it was really hard, and I don't know that I would advise anyone to step back the way I did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Honestly, there was a time after I came out that I really did not think I would be working again.
I have continued to work at different things, and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something. I did it because I happened to be where I was.
For one thing, there is no guarantee that I am even going to work again. I hope I will and will go on to have a long career.
I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.
I really do like to work. I will work again. But on my terms.
I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.
I was just glad to be going to work again.
At one point I took on a new job, and I just didn't have time to do anything but work.
I always worked pretty steadily. But maybe out of some kind of fear, I put the brakes on letting myself be as successful as I'd like to be. More and more, I've taken the brakes off and let whatever happens happen.
There's been a lot of times that I thought I'd never work again; I was really bummed out.
