Morning everyone..
We'll recently my depression has taken over my life, it was bad before, but recently my wife decided it was time to end our marriage and start seeing someone eles. I was left destroyed and helpless.
I work for a great company, doing very well...moving up internally and making a decent buck for my age and my education level. I'm 23 years old, I quit school when i was 17, moved out, was married and 18 ..divorced and 23 and here I am. Over the last week my mind was a mess and i was CONVINCED i needed to be a kid again, act my age, go back to school and live the college life! We'll I came into work this morning, resignation letter in hand ready to Email it over to our exec's in our head office. I received a call from one the sales rep's who i work very closly with on a daily basis, after telling him I was planning on leaving..he pretty much begged me to reconsider. When i told him what for he was very strong on the point that I can keep this job while going to school, he said if the company that I work for will not help pay for the tuition that he and the rest of the sales force in Ontario will help me pay for it, just so i do not leave.
Moments after speaking with him, and being very blown away...i received a call from the president of the company thanking me for all my hard work and dedication towards the company and that she' see's a very bright future for within this company....
I then tore up the resignation letter, took a deep breath and realized what I have here.
Really the moral of the story is, please, do NOT make life changing, huge, big, massive descisions while in a depressive state, it curves your perception in such a way your almost blind, as I was coming into work this morning. I used to tell my ex wife this all the time, I know this! I have practised this in the past but this has been the worst 3 weeks of my young life so far and obviously my judgment has been off.
Talk to someone, seek advice on any situation you are having or feel like you have to make while in a depressive state.
Take Care and I wish everyone a very happy day.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
