Not rare: I think people have sought out the ocean for their mental health for millennia. You have very good company! Perhaps vacation, if it was one, contributed to your healthy frame of mind? If so, maybe you should rethink your goals - what's keeping you in your present life situation. Is it worth it? Should you move? Change jobs? A good friend, clergy person, or counselor can help you decide.

Stress...: By getting away from everything, you likely reduced your stress levels. Your stress levels then went back up once you returned home. Stress can be managed and depression treated so see a psychiatrist for additional help in managing your stress and depression!
