This is getting silly

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Well. My journey started a few years back, in the middle of a severe neurological condition. Unable to work do any particular thing, I took to studying. It started innocently enough - a course or two on Udemy in the field of Hypnotherapy. The courses were only 8 hours long each, but hells bells, I had some certificates to show for my effort. I decided it was the right thing for me! Unfortunately I was unable to practice, for various reasons, not least because I reacted poorly to heightened situations, couldn't speak coherently and so on. So I studied some more. I got further certificates, more (still worthless) awards. Then I undertook a real commitment. I enrolled on a year long diploma course. After months of studying, I passed with distinction. But the bug had bitten me. I got more qualifications, from serious certificates and yet more diplomas. I enrolled in Guilds. And still unable to practice, I decided to branch out a bit and study to become a Certified Life Coach. Today I finished the second of two significant courses, which certified me as a bona fide Life Coach. I am currently sitting a diploma in the field.

Problem is, I can't stop! I've been eyeing up an Advanced Certification in Hypnotherapy and another Advanced Certification in NLP. All very well, but WHERE DOES IT END?

I'm addicted!

For the time being, I'll be kept busy with my Life Coaching Diploma, but will I swallow after that?

The learning bug has got me… and I don't know where it ends!

There could be worse things to be "addicted" to. As long as it is not interfering with your day to day life or causing a financial hardship there is nothing wrong with learning new things or expanding your knowledge of new things.

This sounds like it may be more of a distraction or even coping mechanism for your severe neurological condition. Excellent way to handle yourself thru this. Expanding your mind and educating yourself is never a bad idea. Keep it up!
