Do you enjoy your job?

Yes (even if my mental health did deteriorate because of it). I'm a support worker, I work with a residential service supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, adhd and other complex needs. I love the person centred approach of my job, the people I've supported have a massive impact on me. I've been in this job for 7.5 years now. I have made the decision to go back to university and study adult nursing so I can further develop my skills and add to my scope of practice. My current role doesn't offer that much progression other than team leader and management which doesn't interest me and I'd like to stay in a role that is person centred/focused.

Yes I do. Reading keeps my mental health stable, I've just started Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix. This year I've read 19 books so far! I love thrillers and crime fiction, but I'm dipping my toe into horror and historical fiction this year. I use apps such as StoryGraph and Bookmory to track the books I've read.
