Brolls

Fresh out of dropping out of uni with a real heaping of newly diagnosed depression.

Get job in the industry.

Absolute joke of a company, spiral even further.

Thus begins the saga of boom / bust and the universe / myself fucking me over just as things get good that has been the last 8 years of my life.

Maybe one day I’ll write properly about my experience of mental health, in industry, in welfare and in my family too.

Suffice it to say, anything that leads you to take a whole year out, as well as makes you question whether what you thought was your dream job is actually right for you - is, ultimately, the definition of burnout.

tl;dr - the last 8 years have been a fucking burnout episode.

    Don't give up. Life can be dark and lonely, but you're not alone and I already know you're strong just because you've been through that hell for 8 years. Life is tough, but can be beautiful too.

    If you're doing what I do when I'm depressed and just lie there in the dark, get a shower. You probably can't be bothered but I guarantee you'll feel better.

    Ping me on here if you need to, and remember, anyone who understands it will only ever want to help.
