back after 8 weeks closed psychatry because of burnout/depression

Welcome back Lexel. Glad to see you back!

Take care. Your health is the most important thing.

Welcome back, take it easy.

Good to see you here again!

Willkommen zurück!

Hi Lexel.

Sorry to hear you’ve been through that. Burn out and depression are serious conditions and it takes time to recover.
We have all enjoyed your inspired work and hope you’ll be back in shape.
Take care.

Great to have you back Lexel! Take care of yourself.

Welcome back Lexel.
I’m very saddened to learn you’re having issues with depression. I know them too well, I’ve also seen a hospital from the inside…and that was not even a closed one. I recovered but it took years of therapy.
Not meds. Not doing pleasant things. Therapy. Analysing what didn’t work in the way I functioned and fixing that.

Wish you well…

I dunno, has anyone heard from Lexel? I PMed him and haven’t gotten a reply. Hope he isn’t having ongoing problems.

I also contacted Lexel a while ago checking if he was alright but didn’t have any notice meanwhile.
Hope he’s well, taking time to recover :+1:

Lexel, don’t worry be happy.

Lexel i hope you are OK....

Welcome back Lexel. Hope all is well with you,

Not sure why the the thread was reactivated, but Lexel hasn’t been seen lately neither in BLF nor TLF.

A new post (potential spammer user, given other posts of the user) :weary:
I too thought Lexel was back. I hope he is well :+1:

Stinks of spammer bot account to me.

4 of his 6 comments so far have been deleted as spam. Make that five. And it’s gone. Good work. Is there a way to flag a user as spam? Seems it would be better than playing whack a mole with their comments.

I mean, only sb moderates the forum, so I wager he’d see the pattern.

I would think it should be automatic at some point. If I suspect someone is posting comments merely to make their account look legit I’ll usually google their comment with quotes to see if the same comment has been posted elsewhere, usually it is. Then I flag them. I’ve flagged that guy 6 times now and he just keeps popping back up. For anyone who missed it, it was a copy pasted dictionary definition of depression. Obviously not intended to add anything useful to the discussion.

SB, if you see this the user is karenberys

i’m visiting a friend tomorrow to help ease his depression. make time for hobbies. don’t make your hobbies work. enjoy the little things, like just one drink in a bar. a snack in a diner. balance the meds well and tell the doc everything you feel when you take them. mine were so out of balance they took me off of all of them because it made me worse.

also, depression is a sign of genius…congratulations!!!
