A New Path - How can I start 2026 and the 48th of my life with a completely fresh slate and new hope?

Hello everyone and thanks for the kind responses.

I'll discuss your replies in a moment bu I'll bring you up to date with my meeting

Due to the fact I have dyspraxia any kind of therapy I had didn't work properly and that the option left now is "trauma stabilisation"

While I understand and appreciate the advice there is a part of me that is thinking "surely there's something else I can try as well"

@Friday's. idea is great. I'd love to take a long break but finances are an issue and to be honest I probably wouldn't want to come back

So the second option is the only viable one.

Who I want is clear, my family. There all I have

As regards the what. well my home naturally

Anything else is unknown right now

(BTW for anyone in the UK or Ireland, hope you haven't been caught in the rain. It took me 3 and a half hours to get home!

Evening all. Been mulling over my options. I left last week thinking "something else must be possible" so I've made a few enquiries and have a phone interview on Wednesday.

What's the phone interview for?

What's the phone interview for?

I'm going to talk to a different NHS mental health service in a neighbouring area.

Ah good. It'll be interesting what they say. Good luck.

Thanks. I need to get myself sorted.

I'm probably tempting fate here but my thinking is this. If I'm able to reduce the trauma to such an extent where it doesn't affect me then what happens after that.

I believe that you graduate therapy at that point and receive a diploma to hang on your wall.

Enjoy snubbing your nose at former triggers, I guess?
