back after 8 weeks closed psychatry because of burnout/depression

I’m really happy you’re back Lexel. :smiley:

I’m saddened to hear that you have had to deal with personal issues like that. Depression can be worse than being physically ill. I feel mental health is even more important than physical health, as it takes a good mental condition to be able to deal with physical issues. I noted your absence here and was concerned, but did not know why. It can be difficult to even discuss at times. Take care; all my best wishes to you.

Often the pursuit of perfection and stress lead to depression.
My advice is restart in small steps from the simple things.
Also walking in nature help a lot mind and body

Well said. +1

Love, respect, and best wishes from across the pond.

PS. Writing a diary changed my life when I was at my worst about a year or so ago… I struggl(ed) with OCD, depression, and bipolar disorder. This combination really could put me in a spiral at any moment. Work stress, and losing my father had me at the edge for many months. Writing my thoughts down really helped give my inner voice ‘pull’ and allowed me to self regulate so much better. I don’t know if any of this helps, but I hope you find your way out of this soon!

I too wish you all the best and as much of a recovery as one can hope for from these things.
Try to take good care of yourself. When it comes down to it, that is the only person you absolutely need in order to survive.

Glad to see you back.

Been there so i can say great move you did here.

Nice to see your back. Take it easy.

Glad to see you’re back. Obviously a tough situation but I hope for the best for you.

Welcome back, Lexel!

I take psych meds for depression and anxiety, and they work great for me.

(I believe that getting on the right meds for an individual is crucial.)

Don’t know how it feels myself, so I can’t give any advice. Best wishes for a good recovery, people in my surroundings have had success with therapy.

Others have put in words better than I can Lexel. Look after yourself mate and all the best.

Welcome back Lexel. I was wondering why I havent seen you posting especially on driver related topics.

Btw, Ive taken ashwagandha and lemon balm when I had bouts of anxiety and depression or simply for stress. They’re very effective and no rebound effect. Some say they work better than their prescription medicine.

Glad to see your back Lexel. You have been missed. :wink:

Great to see you again

Von mir auch eine schnelle Genesung

Du bist einer von den ganz Guten hier :+1:

Take care

Glad you are back.

But take care of yourself first. Everything else is second.

Sorry to hear of the trouble. I pray the best for you.

I take Zoloft for panic attacks I have sometimes.I had hard times.

Welcome back Lexel. Glad to see you back!

Take care. Your health is the most important thing.

Welcome back, take it easy.
