Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi all, I haven't started treatment yet but have a history of depression and recently had some relatively minor things going on that have me combating it more on a daily basis. My relationship with my girlfriend recently changed to a point that I consider it mostly over and just yesterday had to give up my dog (even though I love her she was somewhat unpredictable and we have children over almost every weekend). In addition to those just two months ago I started a new position and I'm experiencing some stress adjusting to that. I've made so many strides to make a better life and it's felt amazingly easy to do so up until now. I also recently started going back to college but think that I'll probably put that on hold for now. I don't need to get in too far over my head with all that I have to deal with. I'm probably going to try to see a mental health professional of some sort, if not for dealing with the stress I already have, to deal with what might lay ahead if depression turns out to be a problematic side effect of treatment. I'm really quite a lucky guy in a lot of ways. I've got a pretty supportive family, a decent job and lot's of online resources for support and information. Just sort of venting here.
