An unemployed colleague of mine from B-school recently disclosed to me that he is has been diagnosed with a depressive disorder and is currently seeing a psychiatrist. He then warned me as well to become self-aware of a potential depressive disorder.
Neither of us have found gainful employment the past couple of years since we graduated. Both of us were highly successful prior to interrupting our careers and returning to school.
I feel depressed and often distracted but do not know to what degree. However, I feel that I could bounce back when I find a decent position / suitable career . . . . if someone would only hire me. Since I am not very adept at self-diagnosis, I thought I might pose this one to the community. Are any of you going through the same situation? What are you doing about it? |

I am in the same situation. I left a so-so career to return to school, in order to increase my employment opportunity. Well, I graduated a year ago and my career is worse than what it was before I returned to school. Last year I was underemployed, this year I am unemployed. I am so tired of filling out job applications and changing my resume and cover letters to better apply for the position I am applying to.
I have tried to take an offense approah against depression. I have renewed my faith, become more prayerful, and just leave it all up to God. I know that God wants me to be successful, so in time I will get a good job.
