I'm so glad my post was encouraging and helpful.
I could really sense your distress, and from the outside it was clear that some of it was self created, iterative distress. Like worrying about being anxious, or feeling sad about being depressed. That is a trick that depression uses to build strength.
And there really is something to the habitual way you interpret things. Depression puts sh*t colored glasses over all your perceptions, and then what you see tends to make you feel more depressed. That is probably partly why you said you thought that my theory made sense, but you had a hard time believing it.
As to my work, I am part owner / operator of a small Computer Consulting & Network Services Company. My company does not have a "brick and mortar" office - we are stricly "virtual office" - we all work from our homes, cell phones, laptops and pagers. Wherever I go, I am always in the office.
If I am in bed with the covers over my head, the voice mail on my cell phone picks up and takes the call. That also helps me get back on track quickly, because stuff is waiting for me to do it when I get brave enough to pull the covers off.
I'm sorry if I missed an earlier post, but are you working right now, or or you staying at home?
