Hey, Phil, are you at a new job? How is it going?

Same stinking job unfortunately. Can't begin to describe the ups and way-downs of this place.
I have a few problems leaving. It pays so little and my wardrobe, so to speak,needs major updating. I'm trying to sell a 3500. drum kit for 1800. w/ no luck. If I could sell it, which I hate to do, I could get some breathing room.
Second prob. is one you mentioned in an earlier thread: I don't 'feel' up to interviewing and going through all that bs again.This job is almost bearable some days but, today being one of them, it is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. The company switched to a new computer system in January and there are so many customer complaints, vicious and understandable, about screwed up orders and a myriad of other idiotic self-inflicted problems that it is incredible! I've never seen anything like it and pray I never do again.
I don't think this once great company is capable of solving this problem and, frankly, I'm praying for a miracle to get the hell out ASAP. If I had hours to tell of what goes on there, I honestly don't think a rational person could even believe it.
I'm not totally buried with depression but I think it's just because I know how easy I could just give up and I can't. I know this sounds kinda overly dramatic but this is my life right now.
BUT...I will get through this somehow. I just have to try and stick it out for a short while longer. Let me tell you Noa, it's easier said than done. Thanks for asking...I've been keeping you in my prayers, too.Phil

Noa...Med wise, I'm taking 3 mg Klonopin and 60 mg Rit SR to get through this. I need to get back to some AD, you know my history pretty much, and don't have a clue which way to go. Thinking about Amitriptyline or Imipramine. I guess we'll see. Maybe kerosene or gasoline...probably less side effects.
Hang in there yourself, Noa. IMO, you're the best in da Babble bidness.
Is it nice not having the bathroom as your main living area? Darn Lithium.

feel like I'm ease-dropping on your conversation.
I've been curious at times as to how you're doing Phil. And you sound pretty darn...... depressed, but depressed and okay if there is such a thing.
sounds like a pretty dumb job, Janice

Hi Janice, I really can't tell exactly how I feel, depression wise. Actually, I'm coping fairly well considering the circumstances.
Certainly am questioning my judgement in employment but am trying to fix...Thanks..Phil

Thanks for the update, Phil.. I am rooting for you, too.
Forgive my forgetfullness, but did you go off of the lithium, too?

Hi Noa,
I'm still on the lithium, 1200mg a day. I am closer to being stable (I think) but depressed. I feel like I go from one version of feeling miserable to another version of feeling miserable--with an occassional break for a day or two.
If I stop drinking liquids at 9pm, I can sleep through the night.
Thanks for the inquiry. It feels flattering. Take care Noa, Janice

Hi Noa,
Which of the two thyroid books do you think would be better for someone with rapid cycling depression?
thanks, Janice

I'm not sure if I understand your comment Phil. We're you stating that you've have been off Lithium for a long time? If I've missed a joke, please forgive me.
Janice

I think Noa was asking me if I had discontinued Lithium and I did disc. it 2-3 months back.

Janice, I think I would recommend The Thyroid Solution, since it focuses more on the psychiatric aspects. But it is much more expensive, being hardcover vs. paper.

I may wait for the paperback or try the library. If they don't have it, I will buy it.
I appreciate your help, Janice
