Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have had depression for the last several years. I was syptom free for 5 years but relapsed, and am having trouble finding anything to work. I have tried alot of medications and other factors such as sleep, diet etc. I work as an RN with stroke and neurology patients. I absolutely love my job, I see the most amazing things happen to people, but at the same time see death as well. I find that work is a respite from depression, and lately have worked extra shifts to have that rest.
