The worst part of this is that I know what led to it...quitting a decent job. I succumbed to some pressure that I shouldn't have because I know that when I quit that I was putting myself into the same situation that had me depressed a couple of years before. I figure that I've been dealing with this since at least 2008...by 2010 I found that medication helped - in 2011 terrible events led to a relapse...in 2012 I took meds, found work, and was, for the better part of a year, on top of the world. Then in September 2013 I quit a decent job to return to this family business where the is literally nothing for me to do other than worry about keeping it going. Yes, this is a tremendous battle - and I feel like I'm losing ground every single minute of every single day...
Thank you for your concern. It's good to read that people do get through this. I got through it once; just wish that I could remember how...
