MH in the workplace
I was wondering how people manage mental health in the workplace. It’s something I’ve struggled with and especially at the moment. It makes dealing with the interpersonal side and politics of work complicated, and can turn into a chicken and egg thing where I don’t know the my MH is influencing my outlook or vice versa. I keep my MH experiences to myself for the most part, other than maybe once making a lighthearted comment about having a therapist. It’s a real challenge for me and really has gotten in the way of my career progression. I honestly don’t think I can see myself stepping up further in my career and so much of my life has been in and out of therapy and focused on improving my MH as a focus.
