Episode Synopsis "Learning to leave uncomfortable situations."

For the last 9 years, I have been battling clinical depression and anxiety. The most recent relapse has been the hardest. I have battled self harm, suicidal thoughts, deep sadness, loss of motivation, fear, low self esteem. It's in this chaos that I asked myself what I needed and want for myself. The truth is, I had to leave my job and take a month off to hit the reset button. Nothing makes you appreciate sleep, rest and life like being unable to do the things you once loved. I don't want to be brave anymore, I don't want to be always on my toes certain about everything, I just want calm. I just want to heal. I just need to recover. In the podcast, you will notice my voice is heavy as if I want to cry. Yes, I did. My sighs are also loud and long ones. It's been a tough 5 months. I am on my last 15 days of my antidepressants. I don't know what I am gonna do next with my career or life in general. For now, I am taking each day at a time.
