Hello @rav3n
I am still a newbie at SANE, and have found not only a lot of pleasure but a sense of community, keep up the good work.
In the past 10 years I have self-published books this a personal goal of mine and while this marked an achievement there have been difficulties. After over twenty years working Centrelink declared me less than able to work due to issues with schizophrenia and other problems and the disability support pension became my main income.
This took as much adjusting to as the schizophrenia, and that was a quagmire not only mentally but also medically, and my thoughts are that those who can work and wonder upon retirement soldier on as the social, societal and financial benefits of work once lost can be sadly missed.
My son, now 24, has just completed his university and has been in his first job for about three months. As a divorced dad helping him through these times has been very rewarding and remains so, and fortunately he has none of my health issue, must have his mother's genes.
There is ten years, may yours be both challenging and rewarding at SANE.
