Depressed!

As readers will be aware I am currently on sick leave. The diagnoses is Depression. The form I have, I call "burn out".
The effect is that you have a headache 24/7 and lose all energy and enthusiasm for anything and everything.

It's a pity we tend to be so embaressed about such illness, when it so prevelant and so treatable.

It is good to see Andrew Robb M.H.R. "outing himself"

What is the cure? Counselling, rest and medication. Mostly it takes time.

The cause? For me, it is too much work with a high emotional stress.

So, when I return to work, there will need to be some changes, and I am talking to the Church Wardens about that.

We all need to take these illnesses seriously and provide the care that each patient needs.

I am very grateful to the Parish for its patience and care, and to the Diocese for allowing me to take the time that I need to fully recover.

a break!
