Hi,

Mental illness has taken front and center in todays world. Be kind to yourself and please do not beat yourself up. Here are the three most important words I was ever given. When faced with a situation like you encountered pause, gently breath and ask yourself. ""is it necessary?"

I was ADHD and OCD as I child and I still have it at age 77 {July 4th}.

Take good care of yourself.

Thanks. I was blowing off steam and really needed somewhere to express my frustration. I’m amazed that I just don’t listen to my body when it gets tired and exhausted. I wasn’t getting enough sleep. I talked to HR and they understand. I feel much better not working at Menards 5-9 am 5 days a week. I’m playing (trombone) in a big band throughput the summer where I’m supposed to be. I’ve performed in bands my whole life and I need to keep doing what feels best for me.

How do I gain access again to Mayo Clinic Connect. More work to do.

Thank you
