RE: Vacations & Your Mental Health
Great article! I was working in a corporate office for many years and I was hunted by e-mail lions every 5 minutes. I was getting hundreds of e-mails every day and I was so stressed out that I got sick. I've quit my job a few months ago but I'm still not completely healthy.. it takes time to heal what was being constantly damaged over the years. Stress is a silent killer and not all of us realize that. Thank you for spreading the awareness.
Thank you for the meaningful comment! Stress is definitely a silent killer and it really takes a very long time for our bodies to recover. But I believe they sooner or later do so! 10 years ago I was close to burnout and all the stress damaged my digestive system. It took me a long time to fully recover - something like 3 or 4 years. I actually didn't believe that I will ever recover. But I did. I am perfectly healthy now :D I can eat whatever I want :P But I am still on a healthy diet. It has become a way of living.
It also impacted my digestive system and I'm feeling much better now. Well, if you say 3 or 4 years then I have still long time ahead of me! :)
Congratulations on your recovery! It's great to hear that you made it!
I'm vegan and I try to eat as plantbased as possible. I feel much better now and I'm not planning to change my diet as I can see huge difference to how I was feeling before...
