Self-Introduction Part 2

Hana Yoshimi
I am currently 36 years old and a mother of two.
I'm creating the second page of my self-introduction📝...

・I lost my husband in 2024 and became a single mother.

・Currently, I am raising my children while working a job I love in manufacturing.
When my husband was alive, I worked part-time in the apparel industry, just because I admired the appearance and glamour of it.
The commute was long and inefficient, and the hourly wage was low, so I only earned about 20,000 to 30,000 yen.

・I am currently receiving a survivor's pension, but it is not nearly enough without working.
I started looking for a job about three months after my husband passed away.
Now, I work desperately every day to increase my income.
Since it's a job I love, time often flies by while I'm working on production.
Of course, there is stress when you are out in society, but I realized that it is important to have a job that I want to continue.

・I like plants and dogs.
Honestly, I recently started to really like dogs and began keeping one. I am still a 🔰 beginner owner.

・I don't really have any hobbies or specific things I like, so I don't have much of a routine...
I live quite day-to-day.
Depending on my mood, there are times when I am active, and other times when I stay home all day.

・I have always read a lot of books since I was young.
I love everything from self-help books to philosophy books.

・I have strong preferences regarding interior design, fashion, and colors, but I am also quite indifferent in many areas.

・I experienced bipolar disorder at age 35.
I have always been prone to mental health deterioration, but this was the first time I was aware of bipolar symptoms after my bereavement. The medication didn't suit my body, so I have been living without it.
My hearing in my right ear has also become unstable, which is still a bit of a problem for me😅

・Basically, I have the strength to get back up!
I grew up with a father who was quite abusive.
Although I could feel love during my childhood...
During my adolescence, there was violence in the home. I was terrified of the verbal abuse.
Since I was a teenager, I did some bad things too...
I had my pride, so I overcame it, but even as an adult, I was subjected to violence from my father.
Despite all that, I think I am the type who basically has the strength to get back up.
I wouldn't say I'm positive, but I think I am suited to taking the time to find solutions and exits.

That's all for now.

In my next self-introduction, I would like to delve deeper into the mental aspects.
Thank you again.
