> EEYes, I'm still employed and I'm doing quite well there. I'm a good worker. I'm very motivated when I'm at work and I like socializing with co-workers before work. The problem is when I'm not working, I don't have any urge to do anything but surf the web and chat with Babblers.
I'm not sure I'm not depressed. If I am, it is different from before because I don't want to kill myself.
I'm just on the SSRI's mainly. I do take propranolol for the days when work is going to be a bit more stressful.
Hmmmm....I think a life coach is a good idea. I'll look into that. The thing with therapy is that it is very expensive and I can't afford it and also I'm not very good with therapy. Often there is just nothing to talk about. Even with pdoc I just talk about my day. I'm just not very self aware at all.
