Hey friends, Dr. Gary here.

I want to share something deeply personal about my journey to recovery, and I hope it resonates with you.

For the longest time, I felt this constant push and pull between my mind and body. Deep down, I knew I needed rest, but I kept telling myself I shouldn’t take that break.

Sound familiar?

I was stuck in this cycle of guilt and stress, convincing myself that resting meant putting everything on hold. I threw myself into finding new treatments, doing cognitive exercises, and focusing on anything I thought would help me move forward.

But here's the truth: I didn’t realise that the most powerful tool for progress was right in front of me—rest. Without it, I couldn’t take the next step in my recovery.

So, to everyone out there who feels the same struggle, I want you to hear this loud and clear: Allow yourself to rest. It’s not a setback; it’s a crucial part of your healing journey. 💛

Let’s embrace the power of rest and give our minds and bodies the time they need to recover.

How do you make sure you get enough rest?
