I am also an ICU Nurse and a man in a predominantly female profession. Before that, I was also a chef in the Navy, serving in the Vietnam War during the TET offensive in the 1960s and 70s. I can say that the life I lived in those days wasn't so glorious, but I am proud to say that the experiences I learned cannot be bought, and I am forever grateful. With that said, I live a very comfortable life now with my wife of 56 years in our 80s, and I am enjoying it.😊

You look much happier now. No amount of money can make up for your mental health.

One step at a time, one foot in front of another. Sometimes, it's ok to keep things simple and then the big decisions come easier, at least that's what I believe.<br>Hope you enjoy the rest of your week, Yuri🎉🎉

I understand your final reflection about what you want and not having an answer yet.

I was going to say YURI the reason you’re sleeping better is because you are eating healthier foods and yes you are a lot happier now than when I first saw your video all that time ago. Just go slow and take it easy no rush things will fall into place. Wishing you all the best

I live alone too. I completely understand what it's like. Wanting to sit down for 5 minutes and then 30 minutes have passed. Time is just different for us!! I put my ice cream and mils away before I sit down.

I’m a nurse for 30 years - finding a work life balance is very difficult. I am all days and in psychiatry which helps. Maybe when you have rested you could try a different kind of nursing? Like outpatient post anesthesia care or long term care or psychiatry? You have so much kindness in your face and I’m sure you are a talented healer.

I like the look of pride on your face after you made the Takoyaki, and it's always great to see you enjoying ice cream! You seem to be doing much better now, I'm glad your life is less stressful and you are enjoying things more.
