About a year ago, I logged into slack, a notification popped up for a meeting, and I immediately started sweating profusely. My heart rate had jumped into the 110+ range. I was struggling to breathe. Then it stopped. I ignored it. I was too busy to not. Things were bad at work.Permalink On twitter.com

Over the next week, these started happening daily. They were lasting longer. I thought I was dying. I started thinking a lot about dying. Daily. My wife stepped in: "That's it. You're done. Quit today." She was right. I quit that morning.Permalink On twitter.com

Somebody once told me "executive sabbaticals are polite lies" -- and while I wasn't an "executive," I was high enough ranked to make it sound like "Jeff is coming back. He just is taking some time off."Permalink On twitter.com

The weirdest part about all of this time is how little of it I remember. Months before are a big hole. A month after as well. I couldn't tell you about them. I remember my kid's birthday. I don't remember my own? Whole months where everything had just shut off. I was scrambling.Permalink On twitter.com

I sit here today and think about how I'm healthier, now. I wonder how long it had been since I'd lost it. How many people did it affect? What was the impact on those people? How did I ever let it get that bad? I still have so much of that unpack.Permalink On twitter.com
