I agree that especially during the past 3 years life has felt overwhelming. Good for you for choosing your mental health over working more hours, but I would suggest that staying home alone for days probably ISN'T the best solution for feeling overwhelmed. Have you thought of volunteering? Besides working, I volunteer for several amazing organizations and it definitely helps with depression.

@prcrowe Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Like you, I have found value in being able to volunteer my skill set to help out others and organizations. No longer able to handle energy-filled/packed days, my health issues sometimes cause me to have to adjust my plans. What better way than to be able to reach out and do a bit of volunteer work!

What types of organizations get to benefit from your help?
