It does suck but you aren’t alone. It is an extremely demanding profession. Our society places a lot of stigma and embarrassment around depression but the reality is many are depressed and there are things we can do besides pop antidepressants. Hope you get better soon.

My parent is sick with dementia. I can tolerate high level of stress when I'm called names, sent to h... etc.. but I keep everything inside. It's been that way for a long while now.

I know I'm wrong and it's a disease, but I just couldn't help it... now.. the work time comes... I couldn't concentrate... tears just flowing from my eyes. Which I totally deserve. I'm glad I was working from home today. It got to the point that I just don't want to see that anymore... I just don't want to wake up. I just want to escape of my thoughts and my feelings...
