Hi,
> ps: I am hung up on schol, I admit. It is because school had been the only constant in my life that gave me a sense of achieveent and success.
I'm in grad school too. I was in remission for Major Depressive Disorder for the past three years. Suddenly that is gone.
I have had a hard time completing this semester. I've been sick from work too much. I have to work full-time and go to school, financial aid does not go very far here in the Bay Area when you go to a private school.
It's extremely difficult to keep it all going and I'm not sure that I'll be able to do it if the current med change does not work. My psychiatrist eyed me with some curious look when I told him all that is on my plate. He asked me if I feel overwhelmed and that perhaps I'm over-worked.
Geez, I'm finally getting somewhere in my life and I have to deal with another major depressive episode. I hate it too.
I hope you have a great time overseas. It's been a few years since I've jumped the pond. I don't know when I'll be able to do that again...
I am going to Chicago for a week to visit the family. During a med change this is dubious at best.
Take Care,
Simcha
