• I had a nervous breakdown and depressive disorder 25.05.2023 32min

  We're back! Where have I been? Well in May 2022 I suffered long haul covid (I had a low-grade fever for over 4 weeks), a nervous breakdown and had a major depressive disorder. What came first? What led to what? I don't know. What I do know is that everything came crashing down at once. My creativity went. My short-term memory was virtually non-existent. Motivation was gone. Exhaustion was constant and anxiousness was every present. It took a year to feel 90% better and I still have to take breaks often, sometimes lose my train of thought and need to be gentle with myself. The podcast is coming back slowly. Very slowly. As I learn to be gentle with myself and take care of taking care of me. If you are struggling with your health, please seek help. Call your doctor, reach out for support, find a great therapist. It is NOT okay to NOT be okay.
