The doctor told me that the pancreatitis was likely caused by stress, and the enlarged liver is because I'm overweight. He even took biopsies during the last 2 tests, and they all came back normal.

I feel depression creeping back on me. Well, not so much creeping as pouncing on me. Besides all the health stuff, work has been stressful. I feel some animosity because of all the time I've taken off for appointments and because I was sick. I generally just feel unhappy with my job now, though it's been suggested that I might just be worn our after everything else that's happened lately. But I don't feel happy with my work, I feel like I'm always fighting to keep on top of things. Even worse, I feel no satisfaction or enjoyment in my job. But I don't know what to do about that yet, or even how to decide what to do.

I just don't know how to cope with all of this. You'd think after so many years of depression I'd have some way of coping, but I don't know what to do. Nothing interests me, nothing is fun. All I want to do I'd stay home and sleep. I'm out of ideas. Help?


It’s understandable your struggling with many areas of life. This would cause anyone to “tailspin.” It’s a question of if you’ll allow these changes to depress you? Be fortunate the medical news was “good news” and your test weren’t negative. There are people; who got the same news but it was negative. You have the upper hand.
Try to “re-focus” toward the positive. Be grateful your not dealing with serious medical issues. Think on the great news, though work may be a bit crazy it’s not “permanent” things can get better and so can you! [emoji16][emoji259]
