Okay, I have depression, I combat it with medication, meditation, and try to practice Buddhism to the best of my ability. I also got out of a toxic working environment, but even that has not ended the issues. I thought it would. Still people are just as nasty, vindictive and condescending at they were at the previous place, I take that back, there was less of that there, but the supervisory decisions were terrible, here there are better qualified (intellectually) supervisors, but nasty little girls instead of women of sympathetic nature working as child protective service social workers. I am not one of those people who needs to blow out someone else's candle to feel better about my own light. I cannot even relate to people who do, and thus my obstacle to overcoming depression.
