How do you have a career when yr depressed?

Posted by Automated Lady on May 2, 2002, at 14:00:51

Hi everyone... I hope someone can give me some advice.
The career I want, which I've wanted since I was a kid, involves lots of self-motivation, confidence and creativity. I used to have that. Then I got depressed. I've struggled through my undergrad and postgrad courses and I'm now supposed to be looking for jobs in my chosen career. I'm terrified, because I don't think i can do it. Although some days I have whatI need, and I can get up and go out and get stuff done and talk to people, others I just can't. I don't know what to do. Should I just accept I can't do this job and try and do something else that'll be less difficult? (but I've invested so much time and money!) Are there people out there who hold down demanding jobs while suffering from mental illness? HELP!
