I am college educated with a BA and I can't work in my career, just small jobs here and there. The stress always gets to me eventually. Life was going great, and then wham! another depression. I don't know if there is any hope for me. Maybe this is alll I am capable of. Is that enough for me? I don't know. I had such dreams and aspirations, only to see them dashed and never fulfilled. Sometimes, there is only so much a person can take...
I'm with you my friend. I am 35 and I have had at least 50 jobs and never held one for more than a year. I am a certified yoga instructor, English teacher, Realtor, page designer, editor, cashier, etc. Lived in 20 homes in 13 years. I just got into therapy and got on meds this year and I hope to recover well enough to choose a passion and make it my long term career.

Are you in therapy? On meds?
