Breakout to #happiness
This presentation is my research on dealing with stress, anxiety and depression while I was going through a rough patch in life despite everything being good on paper, I wasn't happy and smiling was a struggle. Depression is a evil which doesn't even sho itself and fights from the shadows. People will move out on you just because they can't see a reason or a visual wound. Not many will even understand what and why you are the way you are yet the battle is constantly raging inside. On this star wars day... I wish you the best. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
Feel free to connect with me or add a comment if you want to share your thoughts on this subject!
Postscript - Life right now is still quite unsettled and paradoxically all of this happened while trying to settle it down with a purpose. I moved out of my structured super awesome job environment to achieve some personal goals that initially crashed me hard on the ground. In a lifetime of work, what would you do to be proud of? What would you do if you really want to make a difference? and what would you do to be able to say.. yes I did it! These questions needed answers. Mediocre isn't good, so I am giving this a thought and a perspective.
