In reply to depression and work, posted by jenny80 on April 23, 2007, at 17:03:09
I know exactly what you mean. My CFS started and then the depression kicked in. I was working a full-time job, going to school and somehow manage to do well at both. There were times that I'd go out to my car at lunch and just throw a fit because I was so frustrated. I'd pull myself together and go do it again. I agree with what FredPotter said about staying home. If I stayed home and gave into the illness it was 100 times worse. I'd stay home a couple of days in a row because I knew if I stayed home a third I'd need a doctor's note. I'd just push myself to go. It was never as horrible when I got back as I had made it up in my mind to be.
When I'm stuck in my own head I am alone in a very dangerous neighborhood.
