Hey there. I'm 32. I was thinking along these same lines-you speak of. The biggest thing that keeps me busy and less depressed is the 2 courses I took this term. Next term I am taking 3 until I finish up the the 28 that I have left to finally get my BA in Psych and Health. It has taken me a while and I came to the conclusion that timing isn't everything-different strokes for different folks. That was hard for me. I kept saying "why aren't I done yet, and in a good career-working?" The fact of the matter is, I was faced with a lot of sad stuff-that I didn't know how to handle at the time-and I STILL am working on it. I have had some of the greatest (I think) therapists who have worked with me a lot-CBT being one of them. I could no longer keep going to shrinks who opened a can of worms about a molestation/rape (I'm still not sure what to cal it:-(--that happened at 7-by a stranger. I know it has affected me-but not terribly. It was an unfortunate thing that happened. When you said, "All that extra analizing is great"-I like to think that too. We choose how to use it-to be productive or to worry ourselves sick.
Thanks for such a great post.
All the best to you GO Get Em:-)

I don't know how old the two of you are, but I'm almost 42 and have had problems with depression and anxiety as long as I can remember. I have three wonderful children, who really keep me going and are the reason I finally got help. I work full-time and have gone back to school. For me it actually helps. All that extra analizing is great. I have 3.89 grade point average. I have six classes left and then I'm contemplating law school. I started with one class, one I knew a lot about so I could work my way back into the school and study thing. I also went to a college that offers accelerated classes. The classes are
usually filled with adults between 30-50 years old, so there is a lot of talk, not all lecture. I would recomemded taking a class. If your not comfortable you've only committed yourself to one class, but on the up side you'll meet new people and may really like it.
Good luck to you in what ever you decide.
