Is it a clinical thing that can be treated with meds? Normal people can get very depressed when they lose job... you lose your status, your selfworth.

I am not on anything... and I can see difference in my moods now that I am in school and last year when I was unemployed. Yes, I was in black hole and I would feel down... very down for weeks. I started to isolate and withdraw... When i though I had a job I desired at my hands and it did not work out... it was terrible...
I am so much better now since i am in school... I still feel down, but not as much.

I don't want to lessen your suffering in any way... you get my point,right?
