Wow this is great news! Thank you so much. We are in different time zones so I am not sure if this is too late, but just a little info as to why i made this post-
I wanted to help de-stigmatise mental health issues, we've got to be able to start talking about these things openly. The reason I detailed my previous work achievements at the start of the blog, was to demonstrate that people you may least expect can be suffering behind closed doors, and some people often feel that other people are much more successful than they are and they must be happy- wrong. Anyone, no matter what your job is, your social or financial status, can suffer on the inside. We all are made of the same biophysical operating system, and so we are all prone to factors that can cause problems. These struggles do not make me any less efficient at anything, I can go to work, I can do well, I can achieve things like anyone else, it just means that sometimes I have bad days such as what is outlined in my blog. The more we can openly talk about it, the less overwhelmed and afraid people may feel. If I had not ignored all the warning signs over the last year or so I likely would not have crashed in such an epic manner 6 months ago- but I was too afraid to talk about it, or acknowledge it.
