New start and new approach to this year

The last time I made a post in these forums was in 2017. Back then I was probably in the darkest moment of my life since I can remember. I thought that I was beyond help and there was no hope for me going forward.
Here I am in 2021 and I have a job (even though I want to leave to something else), been on a couple of dates, travelled, finished my degree and also made some new friends. I guess these days my woes are different. I've spent a lot of time looking into my past and trying to see if I can get an explanation or reveal some home truths about myself and my experiences.
I have spent time in a psych ward, I've been on differing meds, I've spoken to psychologists and psychiatrists. I've spent some time with mental health charities working with them.
These days I want some new challenges and new things in life - it's hard. I have desires to get a new job and to also go back and study again.
Today has been a quiet australia day - I would've liked to have done something social but that's been hard because i have lost some friends, struggled to make new ones, but on balance I have been trying to re establish contact with other friends from the past.
I dunno what I want in life and I have more questions than answers. But I guess I am here still
I will see my psychologist soon for the first session of the year now that I have a new Mental health care plan.
I am trying to do my best and I get the feeling that it isn't enough maybe.
Yesterday I was very depressed. It's a hard time. That's all. 😕

Didn't apply for a job yesterday as the one I had looked too involved and I had enough of applying for one day anyway. Its so laborious. I haven't heard back from many so I guess that just goes with the territory.
Its slightly demoralising but again I guess I just remind myself of how far I have come. Which I tend to underestimate

Hey Hams
Sounds like you're thinking outside the box!
HIGH FIVE buddy! That's the Hams we know and love lol!
I LOVE the idea of that cyber-security Course. My cousin is a professional computer hacker ie he's paid by big companies to try to hack into their systems. Then install all the cyber-security they need.
OMG the stories he's told us! So funny!
He worked overseas for a European Bank and they trained him up. He's home now and doing so well... it's definitely a great 'futuristic' job that's on our doorstep.
Have a great weekend and GO FOR IT!
Love EM
