>Hey Mark: Yeah, the lithium is quite a drug I can tell you. It made me really high at first but I'm settling down now I think.
I'm so sorry you aren't happy in your job. I've been there. I also understand the "don't know what to do with my life" dilemma. I have bounced around from job to job trying to figure out what it is I really want ut to no avail. I would love it if a door just opened and someone said hey you, this is where you are supposed to be, where have you been all this time??
I'm obsessed with figuring out what career direction I should be going in and I just keep walking in circles. Sucks.
You might want to consider leaving the job if your SO can support you in your search for that "one big love" My SO makes a good salary too and I've een off work for 4 months now trying to figure some stuff out and get a handle on this depression s**t. Now that I think I have, the big question is "Now what?" Do I get some meaningless job so I have some pocket money or do I go back to school and do something worthwhile?
I know the boat you are sailing in, I'm one of the oarsmen. I hope we both reach land soon. Glad to hear you're feeling a little better.
Best wishes to you and keep in touch
Hugs
Tina
Atlanta must be damn hot this time of year. I can't bear the heat. Work on that tan huh?
