I hear you @Powderfinger . I relate to inner tension between the desire to work, because you enjoy it and you recognise it might help you out of your head, but the hesitation to commit to it. It doesn't help that there's so much stigma around unemployment AND mental health issues - so you've got a double whammy... Is fatigue your main concern right now?

@Kelpie yes fatigue is a concern for me. I'm beyond exhausted. I've made a few changes. My lap top goes off no later than 9pm. I do a tiny bit of work. If I'm exhausted after an hour, I stop. I'm getting out for fresh air for st least two hours everyday. 

It's not just the fatigue. It's the load I'm carrying. Launching my new business, I have a talk to give on Monday about my book I'm writing, do need to prepare. There is more. I'm just tired ALL OF THE TIME.

Hi there,

Thanks for asking. I've actually taken a hiatus from it for a while as with many other things. I've shifted my focus and attention to other things in my life that need me. I'm also busy with other parts of my career, so it us on the shelf for now.
