I have 6 yrs of HR exp, a PHR cert & an HRIP cert. I recently left my role as an HR Rep at a tech co b/c I was working 60+/week and the stress of the job was affecting my health. I recently received an offer at a new tech co that is $10k less than what I was previously making with comments from current EEs that this new co has a better WLB. Total comp is still a lot less than my prev company. Is less comp too much of a compromise for better WLB? What have you compromised for a better WLB?

I find working out, even if it’s just a walk outside, drinking tons of coffee and green tea (or taking L Theanine supplements) and putting my phone completely away help keep me on track. The phone is the worst distraction ever.
I was on medication way before I had a child. The medication controlled it very well. Post child, it has been really tough. I added wellbutrin and that had helped a bit. But when part of the problem is exhaustion, meds can't fix that.
Do you have teledoc access? My copays are waived through September and it includes psychiatrists (and counselors if you don't have one). You might get in faster with a teledoc dedicated option.

Have you looked into therapists who are doing video appointments right now? It’s not ideal, but maybe you can find someone more easily that way. Hang in there and keep trying to find someone. It gets better with help.
Can you go to your primary care provider and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist to speed up the process maybe ? You are not alone in your depression.
