That's true. Hey Josh, I know how you feel. When you don't have a job it feels like you have no identity in life, and when people ask you what's going on, you just say... "nothin" or "not much" or at least that's been my experience. It feels like nobody respects you. I've been depressed off and on in the last two years (throughout my life, really) and I do feel like these two years are the ones where I've learned the most about myself and life. I guess it's just something we have to get through.
What kind of job did you have before, Josh? What interests you? I know what depression is. My paternal family has had it 4 generations running, and all of us were on meds. Now I'm not. Pills do suck! It's good that you have a support network with friends around drugs, but drugs do not make you see things like they really are. Quite the opposite. Keep us posted and share more of your thoughts and feelings with us.
