Yes I have felt that way. I was very depressed last year (didn't work) and have worked some this year. Still not adjusted. Go back and forth between feeling like an incapacitated depressive and a "normal" competent member of the work force. Actually don't have a regular job so even more back and forth, as still have depressed times.
I think it's great that you're actively looking for work. That's very hard for me when I'm not feeling entirely up to par.

Meanwhile, I'm applying at a lot of other good places -- really hoping to get hired by the Compimentary Medicine division of the local hospital.
