Hi!
I lost my job earlier this year after a prolonged absence in which
depression played a major part. I'd be very grateful if you'd read about my
case at http://www.depressives.org/studies_johnknowles.php. Any advice or
suggestions, or anything really would be appreciated, as my partner and I
now find ourselves in a fairly desperate situation.
Thank you
John

John Knowles,
I understand the immediate urgency of surviving while having depression. Due
to the severity of the conundrum, I'll be blunt. With the continuing
accumulation of depressing history, what point will you drop the baggage and
go on with your life? At some point you may decide, logic doesn't work, the
world is crazy, I need to center myself.
Have you ever had a task, so you set forth on a path, but to get to it you
need to do a thousand things ahead, and the path to the task faded, and the
task itself erased from the conscious mind, and the world became an
unsurpassable wall of cyclic problems? Bring the conscious mind back the to
task. Focus. Step away from the wall. Return to the creative mind.

Well, I'm more concerned at the moment with making something positive from
the baggage: including getting my previous employer to recognise that
depressives are not capable of rational responses, or possibly even
responses at all, depending on the severity of the depression.
I'm in the process of picking myself up, but I'm not too proud to ask for
assistance to do so, which is why I posted the Weblink to my case.
Thanks for your response, and a Happy New Year!
