In reply to speaking to advisor, posted by judy on January 23, 2000, at 15:07:17
There's been a lot of talk on the forum before about the risks of telling people. In fact, my advisor knows that I have battled depression before, since I had to tell him a few years ago when it first hit. But I'm extremely reluctant to bring it up with him again now, with the job market upon me. We have a good relationship, but he's very old-fashioned. Other women have had a hard time getting reasonable recommendations out of him because they've chosen to have children. I really don't want him to write me a "qualified" recommendation when the time comes! It's certainly a quandary.
The muscle spasms do seem to be calming down (they didn't wake me up last night), so maybe this will all work out, anyhow. Just taking it day by day.
