I saw from your reply to another thread that you are an English teacher. English teachers are the BEST! As a former English nerd I wanted to be best friends with all my teachers, LOL.
If my depression weren't so disabling, I'd be a secondary school English teacher. I had to drop out of university and have trouble holding down jobs as lethargy, diurnal mood variation and concentration problems make me an unreliable employee. I hate it.
I hope you can go back to inspiring your students soon. I have only ever experienced partial remission. What I have learnt, however, is that if you leave it too long before going back to work, anxiety sets in and it's harder to take the leap. It's a delicate balance.
Good luck!
