Okay, here is my story.l am 28F.l have a very good job, climbing the corporate ladder in an industry that is male dominated.l hold my own and have done well for myself.But l hate every minute of it.l have gone into a deep depression and have been here for about year.It is hard for me to get up in the mornings.l have days that are okay and l can accomplish and be productive, but most days l sit in my office and do nothing.People are beginning to notice.l have my own house, car, and lots of family and friends.l have been seeing a therapist for the past year and l still have these feelings of hopelessnessand suicide.I've tried lexapro, paxil, paxil CT, zoloft, wellbutrin and a combination of things.Nothing seems to work.So l have decided to quit my job, sell my house, and move in with my parents until l can function like a normal person.I've made arrangements to get therapy, medicines, and work part time to pay for the essentials.But l feel like I am crazy for giving all this up.Most people would kill for this job and the things l have.

My mom has been part of my stress, she does not have boundaries.So that is also concerning to me.

l am also concerned what the rest of my family will think when l move back home.Why do l care what the think?

We always care what people think. It is just the way we are.

Your story is alarming. Have you seen a therapist as well as a psychiatrist? How about getting a complete physical, including blood tests? There may be an underlying illness. Something serious is going on. Please hang in there.

l do not know about the female thing but l can tell you dropping your whole life is not the answer l got rid of the stressful job just to find out that my job was not the problem it was me l made it stressful sure there was stress but not what l put on myself l hope you think more in to this before you do it cause l think you really do not know where your problem is coming from email me if this made sense to you and you want to talk more k later hope you feel better

if ur mother does not have boundaries & she is part of the problem then how well do u think its going to work out when u move back in? l think that would make things much worse. & ur dependence on ur parents at 28 is not a good thing unless u r physically or mentally seriously impaired.

you're right u do have it all in some respects but something is obviously missing & l would suggest not selling everything & running away & making those huge changes without knowing why. l would suggest seeing a different therapist for one & taking a vacation or some time off for few days just to think things through. get ur priorities straight & try & figure out just what it is ur r seeking in life & what u feel is missing. ask ur self some really honest questions & answer them honestly. is this the career path u really wanted to take? is this the life u envisioned yourself having? you're 28 you've built a life but it is not too late to change either.if there is a different career u wanted then why not take classes & pursue that? sometimes the career we have is just provides the funding & means to get the life we want. get out, walk, hike, spend time with friends & family.any negativity u need to put aside until u r stronger mentally to handle it. only look to positive & good things for ur life.

so take a deep breath.relax.seek help & hang in there

This is the exact story of one of my friends.
'' l have days that r okay & l can accomplish & be productive, but most days l sit in my office & do nothing.''
-You r overloaded. Talk with ur superior, definitely they will help.
-Take a break. Take some holidays. Enjoy a couple of weeks, what makes u relax. Forget the work completely.
-If after holidays, the same things repeats/persists, own less work if possible.
-If its not possible to take less work. Again, it will block the brain. Its time to make a change. Start apply elsewhere.

My friend changed the company. Now, he is better.
