Hey @MDT A lot of feelings there and I empathise with feeling that way for extended periods of time. It's exhausting. Perhaps it's time to take some of the pressure off yourself? We are often our own harshest critic.. I know I am anyway! You mentioned calling the helpline today, were you able to chat to a SANE counsellor?
Have you been out for a walk and a coffee today 😊

Hey @MDT
Glad you went to beach with a friend.
I get the feeling you put a lot of pressure on yourself.
