The Weekend Away — I Needed to Switch Off.

Something didn’t feel right. I couldn’t really explain it — I just needed to get away and switch off.We were supposed to be camping with friends, but instead I hooked up the van and headed off alone. One night at Rollingstone, then two nights at Mission Beach — walking the beach, clearing my head and trying to reset.Nikki, the kids and my mates were worried. Nathan even rang to check on me, but I kept telling everyone the same thing: I’m fine. Don’t stress.Looking back now, that weekend feels different.Was I simply exhausted after everything we’d been through? Was my mind playing tricks on me? Or was there something else going on that none of us understood?At the time, I had no idea what was coming.If in doubt, get checked out.
