AFor the first time in 18 months I suddenly feel like I have turned a corner joining WA

I have always had a very outgoing personality, I love to be around people, help people and generally enjoyed life to the full and never without a smile. In 2014 my life was completely on track, I had just got married for the first time at 47, as I had spent my younger days on the stage performing in musicals and travelling the world.

18 months ago that button switched and suddenly I had no motivation, massive anxiety attacks, snappy to friends and family, emotional for no reason and really irritable.

It had a huge affect on my life and at the time I did not know, what was happening to me or why, just so out of character.

I stopped going to the gym and socializing with friends I became recluse to a degree, well from how I used to be anyway, although I would put on a front if we were forced into a social gathering it’s difficult to say no to family.

It also had a massive impact on my professional career in the corporate world. I was known for being pro-active and engaging a great networker who achieved any task to hand, as a risk manager that was quite a tall order and a fairly demanding vocation.

I started to doubt my own ability and lost confidence in everything I did. I no longer wanted to take presentations, network, be pro-active or socialize with work colleagues. I became the 2nd woman within my team of similar age to be targeted on age/gender and for trying to be open and honest about what I was going through physically and emotionally …

I ended up resigning

This happened in September 2017 so 6 months ago now. My confidence had been completely knocked out of me, for someone who used to thrive on interviews and teach people how to be confident I cannot even begin to say how this had left me feeling.

I have found a great community here and it has taken me 2 months to figure that out, lack of motivation on my part. However, in this past week I am getting to grips with building my first site and today I woke up and thought I’m going to write my FIRST blog ….

So here it is …. I’ve definitely turned a corner

THANK YOU EVERYONE
