I have been in food service for a long time. It is really agitating dealing with customers, et c. But I learned how to fake it until I make it long enough so after a year at each job ( I haven't lost) I can be more open and honest about mental health.

I am really inspired to hear you are transferring your line of work. It's something I am so scared to do but want to so badly. I feel insecurities about my capability, my worthiness, my intelligence. And my fucked up memory too.

Thanks for listening- Annette
