Enough is enough

Enough is enough

I wasn't entirely sure which topic to put this under so hopefully this is okay.

In another thread I mentioned that this year I need to claw my way back to where I was in early 2015 before everything fell apart for me. This isn't just something I want to do... I really have to do it or there will be no point to anything. My work/career is the reason I'm alive.

The problem is I'm actually quite scared that I won't be able to do it. I know I need to try to fill my mind with academic stuff and not shitty MH stuff. I need to ignore the noise and everything else and just focus on the big ideas. They used to be my reason for breathing and I know they can be again - I just need to immerse myself in them.

I'm doing better at that now than I was a couple of months ago but there is time pressure. I have deadlines. I need to get it together. Not slowly and steadily but right now.

Hopefully the audience in my head is listening :-s

Re: Enough is enough

Yeah I agree with cherrybomb you need to schedule self care and mental health stuff in your driven career and academics. Balance is the key esp if you have a mental disability.
