...I empathize... exactly.. what the hell, man? it's like all of these things just serve as bad momentum for one another. when you're unhappy at work it follows you at home, in your relationships with friends, family, lovers. it's all F'd up. you should keep venting, that's why these forums are here. I feel for you, it's such a Nasty situation to be in . it almost feels like depression is the escape or cause or both? how can you tell?

debt is the black hole. bills, rent, dues, loans, car, etc. can you imagine if you didn't have that? or have to worry about it? you'd tell those people to stick that job you know where. it's indentured servitude.

I guess the 2nd therapist just attacked the "you're strong" label bc what else could be said? I guess it's better than self-harming ? so the fact that you're not self harming but are chugging away is being strong?
