I work now.... I was out for a while, and fortunately(silly as it sounds) I had some physical problems as well and was able to collect disability. But one thing.... I was also sleeping alllllll day as well.... fell hopeless, wanted to die, etc... and work actually turned a lot of that around for me. It kept me so busy that I didn't have time for it. Work was actually my savior in this matter... and I have a very social job.... my money depends on my ability to interact with people... the first few days were tough but I got back in the groove. I was kind of like "forced" to socialize... that eventually it came naturally again. Just a thought. Hope your doing ok. Take care, Kristi
