Prioritizing Mental Health: Why Communication Matters More Than Code

Prioritize mental health, and why communication is so important

I am learning to live with severe depression after losing two jobs due to poor communication and declining performance. Blaming external factors didn't work; I realized my lack of transparency caused frustration for colleagues. Now on benefits and medication, I am taking time to heal, recognizing that fighting for stability takes time and honest dialogue with friends, family, and doctors.

"I realised that a lot of the frustrations piled on top of my depression were due to my lack of communication with them."
