My kids were with me this weekend and as much as I enjoy being with them it’s so hard not reflect my depression/anxiety upon them on occasion. Everyone here knows how this works, your problems leak out and the people who are close to you pick up on it. I try to keep everything light and moving but invariably I will get overwhelmed and it comes out, typically in the form of anger. I will snap at them or otherwise overreact to something and they end up with hurt feelings. I have a teenager (YES!!) who I love very much but let’s just be real, sometimes things are just ugly between parents and teens.
My point, my current job is not one that I enjoy. However, I was ready to come back to work today if for no other reason than to drive a stake in the weekend. At least at work I am around “normal” people who have no idea what I am dealing with or to what extent. Sometimes just being around other people who are clueless about your condition is an advantage. Each day is a private battle we fight with the demons borne out of mental illness. I keep thinking if I win enough of these battles I will eventually win the war. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
