I'm a bit behind with lj so my apologies for not commenting sooner.
First:*BIG SQUISHY HUGS.* I'm so glad that you're feeling so much better. I hope you can soon find a job that will make you happier.
I had picked up that something was wrong because I occasionally look at my lj friends' friends pages. I think you have great self-control rather than denial! I understand about depression because I inherited it from my mother. I've suffered four major bouts, the last two taking me to the point of not wanting to live, and I've stayed on anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medicines since the last major one. In 2007 finding friends on lj actually helped me enormously! And writing, with which you really encouraged me. With the last two bouts I saw a therapist for some time and a psychiatrist to get the right medicine. So, yes, one has to get professional help and I'm glad you did.
I'm pleased you're making progress with your original fiction. I know you'll get it done and I hope you'll share it with us.
