Hey everyone :innocent: :halo:


I’m Luna, 25, based in England (Moved from Portugal at age 4). I’ve got a BSc in psychology and am currently finishing up an MSc in Coaching Psychology. My journey here has been anything but the fast lane: growing up with a single mum on a low-income, navigating ADHD and dyslexia, and being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis during university. It took me five years to finish my degree instead of three, but I got it done—and I’m proud of that.


For a long time, I followed the traditional “get a degree, get a good job” path. But after reading The Millionaire Fastlane , I had a bit of a mental “click.” I don’t want to wait until my 60s to enjoy life—especially not when my health makes that future uncertain.


:star:
That’s why I’ve decided to build something of my own: a mental health app.:star:


My goal is to create a tool that helps people manage symptoms, not just labels—especially those who are stuck waiting for a formal diagnosis or don’t quite “tick all the boxes” for one. I want to take everything I’ve learned from my degrees and make it accessible, useful, and empowering.



Here’s the catch: I need to learn to code.:blank:


I did a little Python, HTML, and Linux way back in secondary school, but let’s be real—I mostly remember how cool it felt to type stuff into a terminal like I was in this sci-fi movie... It was 2015 after all... Recently, I’ve started using Mimo to refresh the basics, but I’d love recommendations on better ways to accelerate my learning.


I’m excited to be here, and even more excited to learn from people who’ve taken the fast lane leap. Looking forward to sharing progress and cheering others on too.

Wishing you all an excellent day and a big thanks in advance to anyone who shares tips or guidance!
