Thank you, you too.
The hardest part is the patience and remembering that supporting yourself to get back to mental and physical wellness really is helping those interests. Even if it seems to take an age.

What can I say - know that feeling. I've led most of my working life without knowing I'm autistic and absences due to burn out were in the past written off as anxiety or stress or depression.
