Hi sforzando. Congratulations about the new job. I have a suggestion about what might be going on with you. Because of the way I think depression works for most people (It's explained in these notes
http://egg.bu.edu/~youssef/SNAP_CLUB...0164151576.pdf
), people who have depression end up living in a kind of autopilot without realizing that they are in it and are very uncomfortable with doing anything new. When your life is stable, you may not notice this so much because your usual routines continue to basically work, even if you are "in a rut." However, when changes happen like going to school or leaving school or moving or getting a job or losing a job, you really start to feel that you are incapacitated.
Don't worry though, there's lots of great stuff that you can do about it and most of it is really healthy for you anyway. I have some suggestions here:
