I've had a hard time finding a job that is a good "fit" with my depression. Here's what I mean -- the job I held the longest was a teacher -- exhausting, but I got to focus on the kids, lesson plans, field trips, school events, etc. for most of the year -- I didn't have the time or energy to worry about how lonely and sad I was unless school was on a break. I did that for a decade. Then I went into another aspect of education and worked in an office setting. There, it wasn't as stressful, but I had to deal with all of my negative thoughts while working alone at my computer. And unfortunately, I found out that adults in an office setting often act like children in terms of how they treat each other -- behaviors I had lectured my middle-school students about were commonplace (and sometimes supported/modeled by those in charge) -- so I definitely didn't feel like I "fit in" there. I was fortunate enough to have had mostly supportive colleagues when I was teaching. Anyway, for the past several years I've been either freelancing or subbing or tutoring -- not being paid much, no benefits, but I can generally get enough rest to usually keep the depression at bay and keep myself physically healthy. But I'm single and I need more money! Do I attempt to go back into the classroom full-time, or find another office job, or a job somewhere else -- like in a medical facility? (Though I have no training in the medical field -- I'm just throwing out options.) Does anyone think that there are certain types of jobs that are better than others for people suffering from depression?? Just curious to know what other people may think about this.
