    It’s going to be tough for a while. I think that’s something worth accepting. Don’t let everything overwhelm you, and try to take stock in what you have instead of what you don’t have. You’re alive. You have your health, a roof over your head, food, warmth and a healthy daughter. That’s something. You’re current knowledge and education cannot be taken away from you. So, basic needs = met. Still feeling rough? That’s totally normal.

    You took a huge leap of faith, and the outcome hasn’t been perfect. There’s going to be a time of growth with the change that will probably keep being uncomfortable, but try to come to terms with the fact that you’re learning. You may be facing a time where you will need to finally make peace, yeah? Sucks, but it’s worth doing.

    A little about me. I’m not perfect, and I’m facing some big changes too. I just had a relationship end, and left a long term relationship earlier this year. My career has been feeling unfulfilling, and I’m left feeling empty and broken. I decided to try and fix myself through reflection and philosophy. It’s been working alright. I suggest getting into Seneca. A great book to start with would be Letters from a Stoic. It’s pretty amazing seeing ancient insights that are still 100% true. Stoicism is a great means to achieving personal peace. If you want, feel free to look at my blog. http://www.thesodbusterblog.com . It’s not monetized, so it really is part of my healing. I don’t know if it will help seeing another person struggling, but maybe it will help knowing that you’re not alone in struggle, and everyone is facing down their own demons.

    Things will improve when you are ready for them to improve. Stay calm, and make peace with yourself, so that you can evaluate what you truly want. Take care of yourself. Cheers.
