I was able to work my depression did not occur until 7 years ago. my niece has worked several part time jobs. got fired from her last job because she told someone off. her anger issues are bad. she has never had a happy normal life.
In spite of my chronic depression i could work for past 13 + years in part due to nature of my job , some luck , some hard work .. i donno how long i can keep up but could keep up for so long ... It doesnt feel great .. BUT IT IS GREAT ...
