In fact, I think there are some studies that showed middle managers are the most depressed out of different types of workers. I'm having SI and feel like SH.
I'm retired, but understand the problems that can come with middle management; it's sometimes like having your head between a rock & a hard place. As far as your mood goes, I'm right there with you. I'm feeling depressed, isolated, & thoughts of SI are bouncing around my head. SH seems counter-productive to me, though. I know it gives some people relief from inner pain, but I don't like wearing my pain on my sleeve for others to see. I had one instance of SH when I was a teen & am still embarrassed by the scars on my arm. I hope you feel better...& in any event you're not alone in feeling depressed. Hang in there. BTW...I live in Michigan. Ohio State sucks!
