hi, jerry,:)
we're not going to give up on you!:):)
could you maybe find a different job? or just work part-time? maybe you just need to start over with a new job situation...as well as attempt to fix your underlying depression. i really think you should try the "natural remedy" route, and maybe see if there are some other underlying problems (see my thread titled "ppl w/ treatment-resistant or any depression, read!")
note:please do forgive me if i'm suggesting things that may be overwhelming to you at this time..i just thought i'd throw it out there..(can't hurt, right?). please continue to elaborate on your problems, as you are, b/c the more info we have, the better we can all try to help you in our own way....please keep posting on this thread at your own pace so we can continue to work on this with you!!
hang in there, jer!...:):):)

How am I supposed to support myself with no pay - even if I take just 2 weeks off? My parents are non-responsive and I have no savings. I just need a break...

> I thought of leaving my job and going on umemployment..but perhaps that's too drastic. I think if I had the opportunity to take 2 weeks off, I'd be able to REALLY asses how much my current work situation is contributing to my depression and I'd be able to see my therapist more (I still retain my health benefits if I take FMLA leave from work).
