    Hi Vinny, :wave:

    Welcome to the boards. It's really positive that you've been able to post here about what's been going on and your situation. Sounds like it's been a really stressful time but you've done a really good thing to look for some help for yourself.

    Not sure if you have heard of this website which has advice and information about living with epilepsy which you can find here called epilepsy action

    There is also a website called self harm UK which provides information and advice about self harm. You can ask a question to their expert panel or share your story. You can can their website here

    Hope this helps :)

    Hi I'm mgkmdn. I don't do any kind of social media, so I'm kind of flying blind here. I'm here because I'm in a job I hate, but pay's decent. I've been doing the same thing for 20 years now. I think I'm burned out. My husband wants me to quit, he's worried I'm going to have a stroke because of stress. I'm afraid to quit because we can't live on his check alone. He's offered to work extra so I can quit, but I can't/won't let him do that. He already works 10 hour days and he's wonderful to me...I don't think it's fair he works more. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanx!

    Welcome @curiousity :wave:
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
