I notice you teach yoga at All that Dance. I live nearby and would like to be a sub or teach there.
Do you have a recommendation for where I might write to audition?

I’m @jamesian on X, and @seattlesciencewriter on insta.
I’m subbing at Seattle Athletic Club now.

]]> Comment on Why I had to lose my career to save my mental health by Dawn W. https://fionalikestoblog.com/2016/09/27/why-i-had-to-lose-my-career-to-save-my-mental-health/#comment-97899 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 03:00:02 +0000 https://fionalikestoblog.com/?p=90642#comment-97899 Hey there. Came across this blogpost when I was googling on whether I should quit my job for mental health. Feels really heart-warming to know that there is someone out there who experienced similar.

I am 31, suffering from mixed anxiety and depression disorder and diagnosed with panic disorder as well few days ago. I was working in the architectural field and have gained my professional qualifications 2 years ago. But ever since then I have been facing tremendous work pressure, and getting breakdowns very often. In two years I have tried three jobs, and I’m thinking of quitting my current one as I can’t take it anymore due to the frequent number of panic attacks im getting lately.

I have been feeling very hopeless and shameful that I cannot hold down a job for long. But reading your sharing inspired me a bit. I really like how you use the phrase “save my mental health”, ive never looked at my illness this way. I often think that maybe if I push through a little bit more, things could work out. But maybe the only solution is to save myself from the pain.

I still don’t know my way forward. hopefully i can find a way out. Thank you for your words anyways 🙂

Love, Dawn

I left the military because the environment I was stuck in was a toxic nightmare. I found my way to patient advocacy for Veterans and I felt like I’d come full-circle! But after almost 12 years, I realized I was worthy of a healthy and fulfilling life. I really appreciate how you describe the experience of moving forward in acceptance. The experience and the illness alters our capacity, but it also makes us pay attention to what truly matters.
