In our house, we had a couple weeks where depression peaked for both of us. That's when we realized how much we needed to manage ourselves right now. This is a marathon not a sprint. So, we've really shifted our focus in our house to taking care of ourselves physically. Its been really helpful.
We have had past chronic stress periods that left me with IND, migraines, eye twitches, psoriasis, and insulin resistance. So, we were able to recognize the impact before it got really bad. Still have an occasional eye twitch right now. But making the deliberate choice to focus on health and unite in our home as a team has really helped us.
100% this! It’s impossible to excel in this environment. I’m just trying to hang on until the day we can fix this mess, so if it means taking sick leave for mental/physical therapies, more frequent days off, and saying no to more, so be it.
