I know it's not easy to do academic work when you feel depressed. I undertook (and was forced to drop out of) a PhD and was hospitalised for depression for about a year during it. Prior to that it was well-nigh impossible to do any work.

It's really doing a number on my self-confidence to be so cognitively screwed up. Academic work is hard under the best circumstances, and these aren't that. I spent 3 months last winter unable to do anything on my dissertation, and I desperately want to avoid that happening again. At this point, I don't even know how I work - because previously, I wouldn't work when depressed but would more than make up for it when hypomanic, so I ended up just waiting for the hypomania to kick in and then I'd get everything done. And then some. With the meds, I can't count on that saving grace, so now I'm terrified that I won't be able to keep up. I'm already well behind on my writing timeline, but I just have to keep trying and hope it works out.
