Last year I worked in a specialised centre for child protection and - despite having been very well trained for it- I had to quit because the working conditions were just too awful. if I had stayed I'd certainly have developed a burnout syndrome. And this was a state-funded project, mind you. There is such a lack of conscience of the need for self-care policies among these kind of practices that many many professionals end up abandoning the field entirely.
And I think it was Jim who mentioned that someone who is seriously depressed is not a bundle of laughs or serious boyfriend material at the time of their depression.
I believe so, women normally choose the pills route, which is actually quite hard these days and is more likely just to make you very sick than kill you. Men like the dramatic, hanging, shooting, jumping off a bridge that sort of thing.
If you think of the men youve all known who cant/never get laid have a girlfriend, usually thay lack friends, this isnt always true but in the case of
20+ virgins I think it is largly.
The only times I've ever felt remotely depressed is when I've been single for a long time (ie over 6 months) and feel unloved and that something's wrong with me that I couldn't get a gf, then as soon as I get one everything's OK again. All other stuff I have like a good education, family and job prospects I just take for granted, this is the only thing that can ever get me down.
Me as well and I think I know who Goldersgreen is...
