RE: Retirement or IKIGAI? ... IKI - what?

I would give to write a book. 😂

He worked in an association with people affected by stroke. They took advantage of me and I didn’t know how to make myself respected.

I ended up sick, with anxiety and depression. Instead of helping me, they all ignored me. The company, the doctor, the psychiatrist of the labor mutual. They told me that I would go over working, when I had continuous panic attacks.

I had to resign without compensation, no subsidy or help. Since then I live on my husband’s salary and our savings. Thank you that we have always saved a part for what could happen.

The transition was very hard. I ran out of self-esteem, I hated myself and could barely go out on the street. I thought it wasn’t worth anything, that it didn’t deserve anything.

Hive has been my hope to get out of that hole. Here I find a reason to get up every morning. I know it’s a very long road. Also that my income will not look like what I received when I worked for others. I don’t expect miracles either, I just aspire to be able to produce a complement to my home. If more came, it’s better, but I don’t look forward to it.

The past suffering has been worth it because it has brought me to where I am now and has given me the strength not to look back. I know where I don’t want to go back.

In addition, I have reduced my expenses and I have taken away everything superfluous. I have discovered that I really need very little to feel good. And that only being good with myself can I think of being good with the world.

Sorry for the mess, I hope you didn’t fall asleep reading. 😂 I only count here a very small part!

You can ask me whatever you want to know, dear Sam. !LUV youuu. ❤️
