And then I recovered :)

After some time off, I'm back to work. I caused some debate by posting a personal message about my mental health on our Slack channel.

Those who follow me on IG/LinkedIn might have noticed that I have recently become more active. In 2021, I became depressed & started to have occasional suicidal episodes. I’ve tried to deny my feelings and given people the impression that I was ok, but that’s unsustainable.

After a long period of hesitation, I reached out to a psychiatrist. He prescribed antidepressants. I’m currently on the lowest dose possible, have 0 side effects, & don't rely on social media.
