How do you define success in life?
I think if you’d asked me this 20 years ago I would have said a corporate job behind a desk. Now, I prize my mental health above all else.
Being stable & functioning is more important to me than having a 9-5pm job. I find that being stable for the past 14 years means more to me than everything else.
My writing has become better & what I do with my day is important. I get up before 8am during the week with my husband. I try to get into town & see friends & acquaintances & run errands. I recently got told that my anemia has gotten really bad because my body doesn’t soak up iron.
It’s gotten pretty severe so I’ve to watch what I eat when I eat. Otherwise I feel dizzy & woozy. Sometimes it gets so bad I feel that I’m going to faint. Not a good feeling.
Success for me is my stability with my mental health. It means more to me than having that full- time job. Being healthy is number 1 for me.
