I realize that no psychotherapist could speak to my employers -- but in academia (I'm a professor), even impressions count, and there are issues with whether or not the insurance covers the therapist, etc. I may need to look into this more carefully though.
It's more that if it becomes known that I'm depressed, I'm afraid I'm not going to be seen as a good candidate for tenure. And of course, it's a lot of the pre-tenure stress that I see as bringing me to this point!
The depression does "feel" similar to the "old" depression: the thoughts of wishing I were dead, the inability to get things done, the panic at deadlines coming up, or past, the feeling of being completely overwhelmed. I've been fighting it off since the spring (when I got mono, of all things), but I think I'm starting to lose the battle.
