Everyone here seems so enlightened and positive
appear to have come to terms with this subject
and/or how they have overcome it. I lost my job
because of my suicide attempt and breakdown last
year... I know, because 2 months later they hired
two people to replace my "eliminated job."I now work in a field I once loved, but have outgrown,
and despise the game-playing, passive-aggressive
behavior of my bosses.At the age of 41, I'm changing careers -- from
advertising and web design to nursing. I need to take
care of a part of myself that wants, craves to help
people, rather than trying to sell them bullshit
messages and products.This new frontier is frightening, and I have no
idea how I'll afford it, but we'll all see.Since my depression, I've isolated significantly,
and while that feels "safe" to a degree, I am so
lonely and feel so needy. But it's so hard to let
anyone get close again.
