Yesterday depression kicked my ass, so I took the day off and we went to the beach. πβ€οΈ
Sometimes taking care of yourself means slowing down. Sometimes it means getting your ass out of bed, getting some fresh air, and refusing to let a sh*tty mental health day win.
Today I went back to work, and I was reminded how important it is to have a workplace that understands youβre a human being before youβre an employee. PTO, flexibility, accommodations, and people who recognize that life happens.
Iβll always be a big advocate for mental health. Take the break when you need it. Ask for help. Get outside. Do something that makes you feel like yourself again.
You donβt have to pretend youβre okayβbut you also donβt have to let depression convince you that you canβt get back up. β€οΈ
And if you can't get up today, thats ok too!
