People only see me as I am now.. a addict with many mental health and physical health problems.. I used to work in a fast paced clinic as a medical records, billing and coding PSA. So I guess people would never guess I have a 155 (WAIS) IQ

@wildadabeest I don’t know what to say but your comment hurt my heart. I couldn’t pass on by. I relate. I used to be a partner in an international law firm but my stage 4 appendix cancer required me to step away to heal from extensive treatment and then to make up the time I’d lost in the office, I loved my job but I now love being free and very far from the corporate person I used to be a couple of years ago!

Not knowing how much time I have has been such a tremendous incentive to make the most of this stage in my life. No one in the dog park knows or cares what I used to do and yes “be”, and I find it so freeing to be an authentic new me.

Bad health (including both physical and mental health) is a very tough hand for you to deal with. Not least all the medication needed to help you get through each day.

Sending hugs and best wishes for a rewarding life in the face of your challenges ❤️‍🩹🙏
