Mental health issues can definitely complicate things both in your relationships and your financial goals so I'm glad to hear you both have a very supportive partner and that you've been able to get on track with your finances and pay off quite a bit of debt. I definitely recommend keeping up on the mental health front even if sometimes it feels like nonsense. It can spiral out of control and lead to major setbacks if left unchecked.
Keep up the good work.

+1 to what prognastat wrote. Ere/fire is a tool, not a destination, to put you in a position to live the life you want to live. Mental health is a huge part of the life you (anyone) want to live. First things first.

in a pretty cushy but boring position, so I'm already free of the vast majority of BS that I used to put up with. The downside is I feel a bit lonely during the day and I feel like my brain is rotting a bit. I've taken a step back from a lot of the stress that contributed to my breakdown, but there is still a restless drive to do something and learn more. Maybe a more engaging hobby would assuage this, but my guess is doing something to build some useful skills is more in order. Once I become a bit more stable I will make bigger decisions on this.
This resonates with me. I sometimes think I undervalue the stability that comes with boredom, so I’m trying not to stir up shit prematurely. Good luck.
