My depression always affected my job and this has been for more than 20 years and I'm still searching inthat situation. For me it's always a day by day struggle. I had a brief moment when I too contemplated ECT but eventually tried something that turned me around, but not for very long. I no longer would try ECT, I have too much experience with it, having worked in the field.
I have quit many jobs because of the depression...Sad but true my career has never been what it could have been but I am thankful I can still work when I feel better, but forget cimbing the career ladder, that is all behind me now. The depression has been a constant since my teens. Brief responses to MAO's showed me I did have the capacity for career success, but the deprssion always returned and made it impossible for me to excel in any positions I had.
I always regret the lost opportunities. I have come to realize I'll never be a superstar but understand once I get this under control again, I will be able to work. Never in a high level, stress ridden field, which tells me that is not where I belong anyway.
