    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Just to remind I have spent two years in a psychiatric facility for being bipolar and highly suicidal with two serious attempts. In November I applied for the position of Director of Natural Resources and Culture (this is my background). They just contacted me for an interview!! And they are willing to do it through TEAMS since I am out of state in Florida. The remuneration for this job is mid six figures. I emailed my phycologist and asked if I was stable enough. He gave a non-answer. "I'm of two minds." I currently get SSDI and my pension. I know I would lose SSDI after nine months but I thought the pension was untouchable. The union says it could be affected. I also started to upload my term papers into Stuvia (I have 400+) but few views and no sales. ChatGBT has ruined my business. I suspect Stuvia of being fodder for LLM. But for the first time in four years I felt happy and hopeful. I still want to go to diignitas due to the bipolar and MS. Thanks for reading.

Hey go for it. If it gives you hope why not? Wouldn't see me turning down mid six figures!
