So you were blamed on your mother's sickness? Your mother was always in the hospital? Father or any father figure while growing up?
I admire you for having raised three kids and having been married (isn't love great?) as I will probably never be married and really haven't had long term relationships because of the resistant depression...my thought is that I want to be the normal Jeff without the depression as several of my relationships failed because of the mood disorder.
It's only my brother and I remaining to carry on our last name and he is married and has a girl, but his wife hasn't been able to conceive again do to ovarian cysts.
So you're no longer working? What about the aerobic's business? I remember covering Hashimoto's thyroiditis in college. Are the meds for it helpful? I think George Bush senior suffers from Hashimoto's disease. Do they know the pathology behind the autoantiboides of Hashimoto's?
I was laid off from the drug company I was with two years ago after being with them for over ten years (really was cut I believe because my sales were dropping as I excelled for many years until the Nardil stopped working for me) and have't been able to get back into the sales since as the recruiters will not look at you if you're not currently in drug sales as it's so competitive anymore with the high salaries they pay...not licensed as a PA so that's out...have money saved up but not enough to live out my whole life with my mortgage and so forth.
Applied this past summer for medical social security disability and received it without any questions, but at $24K a year, I cannot live on it with my house payments. Hopefully I find something with my determination and as I mentioned have applied to some PhD programs, but I'm not really sure I can handle any more school with the depression.
best wishes,
Jeff
