Those came with downsides also, and years of life at sea take their toll on your mental health. Many years went by before I got help, but I am on the road to working on myself. I don&#8217;t say recovery because you can never go back to where I came from, you can only work forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background: <\/strong>I spent many years living and sailing the world&#8217;s oceans. I have suffered mental health decline and struggled hard to get through where I am today. I&#8217;m sharing this today because I don&#8217;t want it to be a stigma and I want people to see that I am not some stereotype of a character of a symptom. It has taken years of experimenting with medication to get to the point where I can be almost done with my Master&#8217;s degree, even though I want to give up almost every day. Not from it being too hard, but lack of motivation to do anything. Most days I want to just sleep on the couch, which I have read affects your mental health also. As tired and worn out as I am, I get up, most days and go to work and come home and do my homework. There are a lot of downtimes though, as I don&#8217;t have much time for hobbies, a lot of it is sitting in silence, listening to another one of my disabilities, tinnitus, ring in my ear. Sometimes though, I remember to put on the record player and get lost in the music for a couple of records and do nothing but let my mind go blank. It&#8217;s a reprieve from the everyday. I guess some folks will use meditation, I use this the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Content:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video created on Adobe Premiere Pro<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoken word created on Audacity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cue cards created on Canva<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Video Credit:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tmcullen\/48849277456\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crossing the Drake Passage<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tmcullen\/\">T.
