The Post-Release Dip

Added 2020-11-06 12:18:59 +0000 UTC

This week's podcast will be up shortly, but I thought I'd check in with you guys to let you know that I'm wrestling with post-release dip, right now.

I've lived with depression for decades and it only occasionally really bothers me. But for the last few months I've been so focused on getting Operation Nemesis over the line that it's been driving me through some tough times. And now it's out there, I've relaxed a bit and - boom! - it all comes flooding in. COVID, the new lockdown, Brexit and the US election don't help.

I'm not hiding in my bed or drinking my woes away or anything. But after a good talk with my awesome wife, I'm going to intentionally ease off for a few days. I'll still do the podcast and still be present, social-media-wise, but there may not be loads of new content for a couple of weeks. My to-do list is long but it can wait.

Thanks for all of your support this year. You're all goddamn amazing. And I'm aware that I owe a few of you some lifetime support awards which I'll sort out this month. We'll be back on course by the end of the month .
