I've been dealing with a work related injury for the past year and a half and have now been disabled for about 2 months. My rent and bills have been piling up, I have had zero motivation to do anything. Needless to say, my apartment is in horrible condition. I didn't even realize it had gotten this bad. I can't walk too well, but decided to get off my ass and clean as much as i possibly can. I'd say I'm about a quarter of the way done, but it is a huge improvement and it's making me feel so much better.

It went from the point where I couldn't see the desk itself bc there was so much on it and I wanted to clean it but I was procrastinating. Now it's neat and organized and I can actually use it :)

At 16, I am going to attend a career center. If I graduate, I'm going to have a job waiting for me after senior year! I'm over the moon!

I went to dog grooming school and graduated early last December, but for the first time since then I found a grooming job!! My friend, who was also a classmate there, told me about the job. She works there and told me the owner was looking for another groomer. I instantly jumped at the opportunity and went in for an interview. I made it clear that I’m at a beginner level and the guy liked my work and I got the job!! I absolutely love being a dog groomer and working with dogs. I’m so happy to have this new job to not only do what I love, but also further my skills.

Today marks the one year anniversary of my first date with my current boyfriend. This is the most supportive and healthy relationship I have ever been in, and it has also been the longest one I have been in as well. He has seen me through some rough times as I lost my job in February and just started a new one 2 weeks ago so, I am very happy.

His ex-girlfriend made it extremely difficult in the beginning as she still lived in their apartment at the time I met him. They had broken up a few months prior to him meeting me and she was fine for the first few weeks but then things started getting serious, she lost her father suddenly a month into our relationship and she literally went batshit insane. I am not unsympathetic to her but what does it solve calling him at all hours and calling me a "homewrecking whore?" I also lost my father as well so I understand what she is going through but seriously? She'd threaten to smash his things, called him screaming/crying and she even went as far as stalking me on social media and calling me at work. I love him though so, I didn't let it bother me. I knew that if I gave up, she would win. He also tried to shield me from her as best as he could. I knew that as soon as her lease was up, she would be gone. Have not heard a peep from her since she moved out.

He's a very calm, patient, kind and hard working man. I don't know how he does it as I am a mess of restless energy and anxiety. He somehow grounds me which is not something I have had in past relationships. I have always dated people similar to me and that has never worked out well. I wake up every morning and think; "Man. I am so lucky to have you in my life." I have never felt this strongly about someone like this before and every day when I leave work, I cannot wait to see him. The excitement I felt when I first met him is still there. He is super supportive and he is so funny. We have a lot in common and I hope we are together for many years to come.

So here we are, a year later and I could not be any happier. I also love his family as well and they're actually coming out to visit us this week!

I work full-time and recently started looking into going back to school in January. I had a little money saved and instead of spending it on something frivolous, paid some fees to start my college application for re-admission :D

For the first time ever, someone was able to give me an orgasm :D ! It was amazing and I felt to safe and loved, and like someone actually gave a shit about my pleasure for once.

I watch her everyday on the way of my office, i was a holiday today i stop my car and now am more single :D

it was awesome!!! and he was shocked. i didn't actually really punch him, just a tap on the nose because we were only light sparring. i felt like i can conquer the world, end world hunger, etc etc and then he continued to beat the shit out of me

So, I'm a year after graduating uni, where I did a music degree that will get me precisely nothing, and for the past eight months I've been working for Sainsburys (a UK supermarket chain got those that aren't from the UK) in their rather busy cafe on £7.53 an hour, with not enough hours to live well. About two months ago I moved out of London and in with a friend who owns his house, so I only give him £100 a month in rent. That's the only reason I can afford to not live with my grandma anymore.

Yesterday I had an interview for an office job with a starting salary that'll put me at a cushty grand a month. Today I got offered the job.

I can't even express right now, how great I feel. Months of stress from having to take out payday loans and other financial worries, just gone. I can manage it now. I feel like the weight of the world just lifted off my shoulders.

Yay!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I'm really enjoying the freedom and the environment! My professors are really nice (so far), and I've been reading up on college tips. Really excited for these next few years of my life! :)

I was actually really nervous, but only missed a few points! I'm free!

In 1973 I was on Pan Am Flight #110 that was blown up by Arab terrorists while sitting on the runway at Fumicino Airport in Rome, Italy. Not many of us survived. I lost fourteen friends that day and spent the Christmas holidays going to funerals physically and in my mind. PTSD and survivor's guilt is a bitch to get over. I had the usual knee-jerk reaction to the event. I became an alcoholic and got hooked on prescription medications to elevate my mood, to lower my mood, to alter my mood.... I set out to destroy everything and anything good that came into my life because I felt that I didn't deserve to live. How did I resolve this mess? Therapy. Lots and lots of therapy and A.A.

It worked. I went back to University, got several degrees and certifications and eventually semi-retired--after a messy divorce and running from him and his death threats--jeez,there must have been alot of karma involved in my life. Here is what I did with the information: I wrote a book. It is called It's Time to Go Now--Our Soul's Journey Through the Veil and put it on Amazon.com in both electronic and paperback under the author name BJ Geisler.

That's not the end of the story. The question then becomes, "Why did I want to do this? Why did I feel the need to put the most intimate details of my life out there for everyone to read about? That answer is simple. To tell people with PTSD, alcoholism and addictions that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Once I got my life together after that mess, I was as free as a butterfly and made the mistake of getting into a car with a woman whose driving skills were not equal to her ego. She wrecked us.

I came out of the accident with a broken back and a brain injury. The problem was that no x-rays were taken of my lower back and that is where the break was. Fifteen months later, and after excruciating pain, a new rehab doctor found it. The brain injury was trickier. The doc in the ER I was taken to missed it and let me leave the hospital. The brain injury was like balls being juggled around. Non-insurance company docs said, "Brain injury." Insurance docs called it "psychological". Guess which one was right?

I was off on a whole new adventure--the world of the brain-injured. I re-learned walking, talking, thinking and seeing (unfortunately not 100% resolved). I got sent to "Insurance Whores" (doctors who work for insurance companies) and they ran me through torturous tests that I could not perform. I ended up falling on floors, crashing into walls and the doc would come up with cute phrases in their reports such as, "I don't know how much of this was there before the accident and how much is a manifestation of a psychological component." Are you kidding me? Jeez, I couldn't swallow without choking, my speech came out like "word soup". I crashed into things and my right out shot up and out to the right like a mis-aligned headlight.

No, I am not kidding.

Then, along came the attorneys who informed me that they were in business to make money. I waded through the morass of firing an attorney through writing him a letter to give him the excuse to fire me, which I thought was quite funny because to this day he thinks he fired me. Then, of course, no one else wanted to take my case. I finally found someone who did.

The court drama began. I became the defendant instead of the plaintiff and had to defend myself every step of the way. There is so much involved in all of this justice system crap that I decided I had to tell others how to get through this. So I wrote a second book called Headache--How to Survive a Head Injury and the Headache Caused by Insurance Companies, Doctors and Lawyers (also available on Amazon.com).

There is much more to brain injury than this brief synopsis. There is Medicare, Social Security, Social Services, Housing, bad-faith insurance tactics, red tape up the wazoo and an unjust justice system. There is the question of how to survive when George W's regime wiped out decent settlement money with overly repeated words such as "frivolous lawsuits". So, what happens to those of us who become disabled? The insurance company stockholders have already pocketed the profits so there is nothing left for the injured. Ha, the joke is on all of you who bought into George W's fear tactics. You are paying for us to live. Whaaaat? Yep. You got swiped twice. You pay into increasing car insurance premiums then have to pay taxes, both of which go toward taking care of us who are disabled.

This awkward moment does not stop there. Gabby Giffords just happened to be shot in the head while talking with constituents. The Federal Disability Act gives her the right to unlimited medical and therapies for life as well as her paycheck forever. I got shut off at $100,000 and now have to rely on Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps and Section 8 Housing. Guess what all they don't pay for? Therapies such as vision, cognitive and speech. What are the three most important therapies after a brain injury? You guessed it...vision, cognitive and speech.

What was my goal in all of this? What is my dream for the future? To get off of publicly-supported programs and to be self-sufficient. Read a book and maybe you will understand how you've been side-swiped already or might be in the future.

What makes you happier; accomplishing something for yourself or seeing how proud you have made your parents/spouse?

Alright guys so here's the deal! I really want to get this subreddit much more "known". I think all of our dedicated readers could help us do that, it would be the world to me :)

Also, I am looking for a possible moderator to help me out with this subreddit. As of right now, since it's so small, it's unnecessary, but as it grows more I'll be keeping an eye out for active members that could be possible moderators! If you think you have what it takes, feel free to PM me :)

Anyway, that's all I have for now. See you guys soon, keep achieving what you are believing!

(still working out the saying...)

After 10 years of being a stay at home mom, with no job experience, I got hired at a pizza place. I had submitted applications at every store within 10 miles of my house (at least 30) and this place was the only one that would give me an interview. I nailed the interview and started working today.

Feels so good to drive, yet another important milestone in my life, and many more to come :)

I've been struggling with a lot these couple years, I've been beaten down a lot in a majority of ways, have felt like an utter loser for the majority of the time and couldn't find anything I liked about myself. Anyway, I I was listening to Star Talk as I often do and Neil Degrasse Tyson began speaking about the end of the universe, I don't know why but for some reason the way he put it made me pretty happy with what I've done with my life in the scheme of things. I'm starting to feel a lot better about myself and though I'm still a little depressed I think this is the path that might lead me out of it.

TL;DR I'm starting to move out of my depression thanks to Star Talk Radio. Thanks Neil Degrasse Tyson if you ever read this!

I'll attempt upvote every post made in this subreddit!
