Overwhelmed
I made it to my mid thirties without any significant mental health history. I think a combination of work stress and hours has put me in a fairly dark place. And working away from home and the usual stabilisers of family, friends, husband, home etc.
I work in healthcare and I think that is actually a massive barrier to acknowledging a problem and accessing help. For as much as it is said there is no judgement for seeking help I could almost guarantee if I rocked up to ED my job would be gone within the week. Working away from home means it's not easy to access your GP, who has zero clue that there is mental health stuff going on.
Guess the sun always comes up tomorrow. But the nights are long.
