Uber Stories will return next week, but I wanted to take this week's episode and open up about something that's been weighing heavily on me and has left me feeling pretty depressed these last couple weeks since coming back from Las Vegas.
Returning from a vacation or a holiday or PTO and jumping right back into your normal schedule is difficult enough, but add in a time difference, a lack of a plan, and having to say goodbye for 7 months to the person you love the most? That, my friends, is a recipe for a rough couple of weeks.
And that's exactly what these last two weeks have been since getting back from our trip to Vegas. I've been burying the reality of this looming goodbye and my emotions about it with work and food. Literally stuffing down my sadness with Chick-fil-A and fruit gushers. Not great, Bob.
But I finally reached the point where I realized what I was doing to myself, why I was emotionally eating, why I was feeling depressed, and so I wanted to use this week's episode to open up about these things and own the last couple weeks because doing that is like therapy for me. Speaking about these things on this episode was cathartic for me. And I gotta say, I feel much better now ☺️
Life is full of moments that we might not post on social media, we might not want our friends or family to know about, and we certainly wouldn't open up about with strangers, but there are gonna be grey days in life. There's gonna be some times you get down and depressed and things are rough and even though those moments might not be super popular to talk about, they happen, they exist, and it's important to remember that you're not alone, even when it's dark out.
So I hope you enjoy this episode, I hope you enjoy the new segment I'm doing called The Doctor is In (1:20:42), and I hope you'll be back next week for Uber Stories Pt. 27 🥳
