hi emic
it is hard to tell when you will be back to your old self. it will be sooner if you are doing something you love than if you go back to a stressful job that you do not like. but finacial and family stressors will have an impact on it as well, so you have to find a balance betweent he two. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
