Depression

It's good to be back

Well, at least I think so. Getting back on track after two years

It’s been about three years since I wrote anything around here, or since I did any kind of work on my personal projects. A lot has happened since, and honestly it wasn’t the best of times.

Two years ago I started experiencing some depressive episodes, some worse than I ever had, and slowly everything started going downhill. It affected my personal life, professional work, academia (not that I was too involved in that anyways), I was losing my grip pretty fast. This resulted in a severe burnout at work but thanks to my coworkers I was able to go easy and do everything step by step; however the impostor syndrome combined with thoughts that I wasn’t doing enough took a toll on my mental health. My personal life also took a 180˚ turn, but I’m not going to dive in that too deep.
