I took my first vacation as an adult this week and for the first time ever I feel like I have a real perspective on where I want to go with my career ❤️
Just wanted share with everyone (:

Good on you!
I’m close to 20 years since I last took a vacation (that I didn’t work from), and I’m afraid I’ve forgotten what “happy” or “perspective” are.
Your post gives me hope.

Love it!

We’re rapidly losing staff and my stress level is the highest it’s been in a while. It’s triggering severe depressive and anxiety symptoms - can’t sleep, racing thoughts, extremely irritable, reclusive and don’t want to be around people, feeling hopeless. I feel like I’m going crazy, even with my meds that have worked quite well up until now. I want to say something to my boss, but I’m not even sure how to problem solve. This situation isn’t compatible with the way my brain is wired.
