Off-Topic / The Effects of Clinincal Depression on your Pocketbook
« on: November 18, 2010, 09:44:14 am »Message ID: 271084
Just wondering if any of our members have suffered from clinical depression and the effect that that has had on your pocketbook or back account? To make a very long story as short as possible, I've suffered from the adult symptoms of clinical depression for 35 years. In 2007, thanks to a combination of the right medication and years of talk therapy, my symptoms are now completely controlled. However my bank account/financial situation was in ruins.
The depression caused my decision making abilities to land in the toilet. During that 35 years I majored in a subject in undergrad and grad school, I should not have majored in. I hopped from one job to the next because I wasn't happy with what I was doing. When my first wife who really was the bread winner died in 1998, things went from bad to worse. I charged on my credit cards because I couldn't work, I was so depressed after she died, eventually I went bankrupt and now I'm currently on disability.
In 2007, things began to finally turn around. My doctor found a medication that was right for me. My second wife is extremely supportive, she is working. I'm still on disability but over the last few months I began to supplement my income by making money online based on a plan I've made for myself.
Now it's your turn. If any of you suffer from clinical depression, what effects has that had on your pocketbook and what if anything have you done about it or would like to do about it ? Thanks in advance for sharing and God bless you.
