A few years back, one of the most prominent and successful and best loved individuals in my industry accidentally overdosed while trying to cope with her stress.

I used to (obsessively) overwork, wanting to be like her and wanting to be the most successful version of myself.

But the most successful version of myself isn't the one who works the hardest. It's the one who isn't found dead in a bathtub at the age of 46.

Anyway, I'm taking a mental health day off from work today and could not be prouder of myself.

#i cant believe i spent so much of life not loving or protecting myself #my old hospital was always “but we're already short staffed. who will look after your patients? if you cant cope #just ask a manager if you can step out of ICU for five minutes to breathe“#and now my new hospital is “absolutely. Take as long as you need. I'll send over the details for our free counselling #in case you want to speak to someone. Now get yourself back to bed.“
