> Yeah. It's sad the damage that depression does when inadequately treated. I've ruined my career, friendships and relationship opportunities repeatedly. It becomes harder to change these things over time. People who know me are baffled by why I'm not married and why I am nowhere in my career. There was a lot of promise, but mental health issues can destroy all of that.

> LinkadgeI am in a similar boat, and I think we may be in close age-range. If I give the impression that my depression is "knocked out", that is far from true. My GAD and PTSD are a little more under control, but the black dog, I doubt it will ever go away. I feel older, slower, often robbed of vocabulary. No romantic relationships.....damn this is hard to talk about. But, once in a while, a glimpse. Still....just.....still.... Plus, I am trying hard to get some semblance of a career. Trying.....but....still.
