I'm singing the same song. I think all we can do is keep moving forward and believe things will get better before long. The editing career sounds exciting. Are you starting a new job in editing soon or did I misunderstand?

No, I'm plannign on getting credentials to become an editor, I have a real knack for it. Plus I've always loved to write, I plan on doing that on the side, unless it becomes more lucrative. I've always been afraid of pursuing writing as a career, but I figure editing would be a good stepping stone. Unless I'm really good at it I'll just stick with writing creatively on the side



If you ever seriously feel like you might hurt yourself or someone else, please don't hesitate to call 911. If, on the other hand, you're feeling ragey and wanting to lash out physically but are able to control that impulse, that's not that uncommon. It *could* be something else, but depression is transmuted into anger in some people. It's certainly something you'd want to mention to your pdoc.

I made an editing note about that- I was thinking about that today, how that came across, I didn't mean to say kill someone, hjust maybe hurt them- but mainly it's an overexasperated feeling, what I really want to do is tell them off- and perhaps hurt myself.

Not weird. Joking can be a coping mechanism. And I'm assuming you mean you have a short-temper when you say you're "way too intense". Irritability is definitely a symptom of depression.

What I mean, is I get to close too fast with people and that scares them I think- I don't hacve a short temper at all. On the conttrary, I've been told I have the patience of an angel (usually at work in dealing with unreasonable people)
