About a year ago I hit an all-time low, at work and in life. I was working at an amazing company and was surrounded by amazing and genuinely good people.

But after a while, it didn’t matter; my thoughts had completely taken over. I ended up taking a leave of absence that lasted for three and a half months. I’ve been back for a while now and am in absolute heaven. It’s the same group, same company, but a completely different experience. What did change is how I think and behave in my life. I learned a lot during my leave; I hope some of what I learned can be helpful for you or someone you know.
