I’ve been on disability since December. I’m leaving New York and moving to the west coast. I can be disabled there. I’ll take myself off of FB in a few days. I don’t belong here any more

So, I thought that I’d give an update. I haven’t taken myself off of Fish Bowl, but since I never intend to return to any kind of financial service job, I probably will. We have left New York and are almost settled in a new house in eastern Washington State. Leaving New York was a very good thing. Selling the apartment was just an awful experience, but that is New York. I am still on disability, which gets tricky with the move. I also forgot that I had two other disability policies. I will blame forgetting them on too much electroshock. It is very hard to uproot yourself while you’re trying to hold on to your sanity. Seroquel is a gift from god, but it has some bad side effects. But at least I can sleep. I think that I’ll write a few more updates, and then I won’t be in financial services any longer. I went about as far as I could at work before suicide set in. I envy people who don’t have to deal with this kind of thing
