I have not worked in the last 18 months and do not plan on starting until I have my symptoms under control. Also with the Post traumatic vision syndrome, if you cut out employment that includes computers and reading it can be a challenge.

I bet there are a lot of people out there that would like to reinvent themselves and we have that opportunity. I know it is scary especially if you are by yourself.

One of the hardest aspects of this conditions is the isolation and being single more so....

Cutting down on stress and anxiety is also really important. I recently sold my car and tent trailer. I could not afford them, they were too hard to maintain in my condition and I don't know when or if I can drive again or go camping.

It was very liberating to get rid of these two headaches and I am now trying to de clutter the house in possible expectation of having to sell my house.

I feel you pain, but try to take things one at a time and not to get overwhelmed, maybe you can think of a temporary change to see how you like it.

God Bless.
