I broke the mold. I'm a 50 y/o female gaming addict. 20+ year career as a registered nurse down the tubes because of gaming. Any jobs I apply for will call the last hospital I worked at and be told I am not eligible for re-hire. I've been living off my meager savings and it's almost gone. The gaming addiction fed a need in me I think to escape from life. I've been depressed and anxiety-ridden most of my life. It's a pretty dismal place to be in, especially considering I am very intelligent, have always been told I'm beautiful (even at my ripe age) and am creative and fun-loving for the most part. Well...I will not stay in this dismal place. I will climb out of here and live to see a better day. I will grow from this and become a better person for it. I will. I will. I will.
I choose to replace the gaming with a new interest..or rather an old interest revived. That new-agey, touchy-feeling energy of the universe stuff. Yeah, I've gotten into that stuff a bit in the past, and I think there is something to it. Maybe it's desparation to feel better but if it does make me feel better than what harm is that? Specifically, I want to learn massage, Reiki, Craniosacral therapy and other such things. Provide these services to others. Help them feel better. Make myself feel better. Earn a living on my own. And do this work on animals :) Dogs. Yeah. I can see that. Horses lol. I'm rambling and do apologize. I'm in a very strange place today and trying to hang on to some sanity and peace in my mind.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I wish you the best of luck in your new endeavour. If you live anywhere near Vancouver, B.C., please send me a private message as I will likely want to try using your services once you are ready.
Hope you are doing well and thanks again for your response. It means a lot to me :)
