Thank you! It is extremely difficult managing anxiety and depression when in a career field that requires you to be public and vocal. Having mastered the ability to “turn it on” for career is punished by people outside of that environment not believing you don’t enjoy it, how exhausting it is and the recovery process associated with it. Trying to explain why I choose to become the person required for my professional growth and success, but need to recharge at home or on my days off, had proven to be a challenge I will never win. I don’t want the trophy for being resilient.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I have a lot of Leo in my chart and yet I share many of your feelings and experiences. I’ve gone through times of putting on a really good show and it exhausted me and always took a heavy toll. I’m so happy you’ve found relief since. I am working on caring for myself too ♥️
