If it is difficult to get started, why not try a different occupation? Or is it, like a lot of us, with IBS/IBD, you are so used to fighting for what you want or need, you almost automatically pick the hardest most awkward task, and set yourself an excessively hard target?

I hope you are keeping well

I thank you for your reply

It is from a personal perspective that I would like to work in Willa and Probate

I volunteer with Age UK once a week and I hope to shadow the Wills and Probate solicitor tommorow

I am sad because I live in total isolation and I also have a very demanding mother who puts all her worries on to me

I have tried for three years and two years ago I also lost my Mother which cam explain my struggle

I may have to review the entire situation at the end of the year

Thank you for reply
