It's been 6 months since I last checked in here. I was struggling with work and took some time off. I'm a teacher and am back at work now. I suffer with depression, and am once again struggling at work.
Just wanted to say hello and let people know that hearing your advice and stories was a huge help last time. Hope it helps me again and perhaps I can help someone out too. Talk to you guys soon. I'll be lurking around somewhere, and trying to prepare for work tomorrow after having Columbus day off today. God knows I want to call off, but I'm going to force myself to go.

I'm glad you got some time off! Struggling with work is hard. My depression is much better than it was a few years ago, which helps a lot. I hope you feel better soon.
