I'm not presently working but I trained, and worked as, a software developer. I struggle a lot with work and my working life has been very chaotic due to shit mental health. It seems like a really stupid idea, as being a chef is meant to be really stressful. However, the idea of it being fast-paced, immediate, physical, intense, sensory seems really really appealing to me.

I'm sorry if this isn't a lot of information to go on. I'm trying to reduce details, partly for privacy's sake, partly because if I don't wind myself-in this could be a novel long.

I worked on the food service industry for 5 years, it was absolutely terrible

I've been in the freight industry for the last 7 years, though it can be tough at times it's really only due to some of my coworkers. The work plays into my strengths really.

Every little detail popping out to me means that the information I need and the condition of the freight all screams at me.

There's always something new to draw my attention as that's literally the job, new pallets all the time.

And it's physically demanding too
