Just a rant...My depression is related to being employed in an occupation that brings me nothing but frustration; it is a family-owned business (my wife and me), and prior to joining her in this, I never knew these depths of depression. The only time in the last 8 years that I was out of the mess of medication and depression was from 2012 to 2013 when I was not here. Now that I'm back, there is nothing but bleak depression, blunted only by medication...In late Dec of last year, this got so bad to the point of ideas that landed me in a hospital. If there was a way to turn back time...

...and the frustration with this continues. This is like an episode of the twilight zone for me, and I'm the one who gets the joke played on him over and over...

Ah, yes, if we could turn back time. I can relate, regretful.
I'm sorry that it's not good for your well being there. For reasons different for me, Oregon is the plunge under into depression. The obvious queries: Can you "get out of" the family operated business? Can your wife handle it fine without you? What would you perhaps rather be doing?

Yes regretful, if your depression is job-related for the most part, can you get a job doing something else? Maybe you are "stuck" doing what you're doing, but would your wife understand if you needed to make a job change in order to enjoy life again? I feel really bad for you. I'm glad you shared on here about this. It always feels good to get things out.

If only I could relive myself of my "duties" here. I am "stuck". I did get out once; I thought my wife understood, but in the 12 months of reprieve I had from here, I was phoned at least three times a week about "problems", and would then hear about those same "problems" when I got home. It is the 24/7 nature of this business that really annoys me. I've never wanted to do this in the first place, but here I am nearly 10 years later still doing something in which I have no interest. It makes one really not want to live...

That is really a tragedy that you're stuck. I wish for you that there was a way you could become unstuck. Maybe someday . . .

I'm trying so diligently to get "unstuck", but so far my efforts are falling short, hence the title of the thread...nonetheless, newgal, I appreciate the support from you and poorprincess as well. It means a lot to me.

Quote:
Reading more of this business and how the nature of the work itself is so intolerable for you, please make it your business to get out of it before you manifest the stress in physiological ills in addition to depression. I am much older and am witnessing the demise of my well being from long term stress of unchangeable situation. I do know and relate to that feeling of being trapped or stuck.

Believe me, PoorPrincess, getting out is really a matter of time and new job opportunity in that once I get that opportunity, then I'm out. Thus far, I've been able to manage the physical stress, but I am aware that, as I am closer to 50 than I am to 40, that the physiological problems will present themselves sooner if I don't free myself from this self-imposed prison. It was a good intention to come back to this business to help, but it has resulted in disaster...
