I'm a 48 year old male who has suffered from depression and anxiety since i was a teenager. To make a long story short, with meds, therapy, and God's help i was able to hold a job until about 9 years ago. My Pdoc says my condition has worsened (duh)..i can no longer maintain a long enough remission to return to work.
Here's what i hate. I hate trying to explain to friends, family, aquiontances, anybody, why i can't work. Maybe it's pride because i am a man, and i have two children, but for me it's embarrassing to admit i have chronic major depression with anxiety. I feel people are always judging me, accuseing me of being lazy and/or irresponsible for not working. People just don't see depression as a disease, i think most people see it as a weakness..like it's my fault for being this way. It's very frustrating for me.
