Oh, don't I know it.
Have switched career paths a few times because of it. About 4-5 years to ride the wave up before the crash.
Thankful for MY partner... because she's an absolute harbour in the storm. All the executive function I lack, and then more to spare. Otherwise I'd probably be homeless, imprisoned or dead.
Think I am finally dealing with it properly.
- firecall 4y agoSame thing for me! After a stint back in corporate management land, I had a full on nervous breakdown that almost destroyed me and my marriage. I had one of the most enviable jobs in my field. It was a dream in my city. I'm still not fully recovered, what ever that means, and never will be the same again really! I guard my mental health like the Crown Jewels these days! Which in itself isn't easy!
- cbfrench 4y agoI wish you all the best on the journey. It’s a hard-as-hell place to be in, but I’m glad you have someone who can balance things out. (I’m fortunate to have the same!) But it’s still a path you have to figure out on your own, and I’m glad you’re in a good place with it now.
