Thanks Raymond! You're talk is so inspiring and uplifting. I like the ideas of having social chats open with supportive friends just to chat when needing to. I've watched a lot of mental health YT videos and some specifically on burnout sponsored by Google. They relate burnout to being something similar to depression, if I recall correctly, in relation to the symptoms at least. Thank you for the positive affirmation that it's okay to not be okay. I'd like to add that it's okay to ask for help and keep inquiring until help is acquired. Thanks for your message!

I am sure that mental problems do not disappear by themselves. I try to keep an eye on my mental state, and the Australia Counselling Directory helped me find a real professional with whom I was able to figure out the main points of my psychological state. Our sessions allowed me to find solutions to certain issues that kept me from moving forward. I recommend not to be alone with your problems, but to look for ways to solve them. All health!
