I think I started this thread because I am nervous about interviewing and going back to work after a two-year gap. Lately I have been thinking that I need more responsibility, not less.
If there is a truth it is this. Weathering a major depression and coming out of it is something one should be able to put on a resume! Until recently I had little help or support, and I have to say the support I have gotten from Psych Central in the past six months has been major.
I think that I have been able to come on here and talk has helped the most. I like the feedback. I think all of this got my brain working again.
I don't think I can mention in a job interview that oh, well, my sister died and it caused me to enter a major period of depression and I fought my way out. But that is what I have been doing. I have worked through issues of grief, trauma, identity, life path, mood, and etc. It has not been easy. I have persistent, and I never gave up. I think these are good qualities to bring to any job.
It helps for me to say this. I told a relative tonight that every step I take out of depression is a step forward. I never want to go back...
I never want to retrace those steps...
Maybe job searching is difficult But IDK...I think kicking depression to the curb may have been harder.
