I know what you're saying. My confidence level has also decreased. It's like being traumatized and it taking awhile to get over that traumatic feeling. I'm a real estate agent (in addition to looking for another tech writing job after being laid off almost a year ago) and it's so hard for me to even make plans to really pursue the business because I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to perform -- that I'm going to go back down into that dark hole again and then disappoint my clients or not do a good job. Making complex plans is hard. Having been in this place before, though, I know that it will get better and I know that I will get back on top of my game again. And this time, I won't get cocky and think I can make it on my own without the medication. Give it some more time, Lexy and you will wake up one morning and feel that same sense of confidence and well-being. From your posts I've read, I can already tell that you are a very unique, special, caring person who deserves all the best life has to offer. When that day comes we both feel sincere joy we can celebrate together.

Now I just kinda feel like there is a shadow lurking around waiting to pounce and make me depressed. I am just ready to get some inner light and confidence back. Any one feel the same, anyone have any ideas? I would love to hear. Hope everyone else had a great weekend.
