hi.my story goes like this, i am a nurse but due to mental illness like anxiety i couldn't keep up with the job. I also have brain fog which keeps me from concentrating and focusing.I have depression too. I also went to the psychiatrist last week and his impression on me was i was a schizoaffective. I am very sensitive to stress thats why as much as possible i avoid it. The doctor asked me why can't I move on with my life. What keeps me from moving on. Maybe I told him because of my negativity. He told me that I was so negative to the point that I cannot move on with my life.

One of the things that is not stressful for me and im capable of doing is baking. Do you think its okay to start from home? To start small? I worry because im thinking i will fail. I get intimidated easily by big bake shops. I just worry.

Tommorrow I'm going to baking school to attend a class. I'm planning to practice and sell baked goods online. Do you think I can survive as a baker? Do i need to worry?

I think you should do what makes you happy. I'm sure there are lots of small bakers out there that are doing great, and you can too! Let us know what you are up to.
I have work issues as well and am schizoaffective as well as having 4 other diagnoses. I know you will do well. You have the drive and the want to do this, so go for it.

I agree, do what makes you happy! I don't know what is required as far as licensing or certifications that you need to sell out of your house, but I know a woman who strictly sells decorated cookies out of her house and she seems to do very well. I don't see why you couldn't do the same. Especially if it makes you happy!

I think its a brilliant idea. Give it a go, yourl never know till you try, start small see how it goes. Even if you start by selling to neighbours and friends, its a start, good luck, love Susie x

If this is a passion for you, i think its worth giving a shot....everything new is scary and maybe intimidating. But i think you would probbaly do really well, just believe in yourself a little bit hun. Through my facebook i have a few friends that are doing this and they seem happy doing it...with support of family and friends is where it starts and the word spreads from there. I wish you lots of luck :)
take care
