Good Morning!

Ok sweet @TAB @thanks answer as many as you feel comfortable answering. But:

1. how long have you worked?

2. What was the general atmosphere of the places you worked at?

3. Have you ever disclosed you mh?

4. Have you relapsed or only ever had depression once.

5. Do you think you thrived?

6. Is there a stigma about depression you’ve experienced?

you get the idea

I don’t personally remember much about my depression and I’ve moved on and it hasn’t come back. My mum only ever had it once, long story for her but it has never come back. Plus I worked a whole year and a half before the question about my mh came up in the past when I was untreated lol

1.prob easier to say how long I Haven't worked for @Former-Member  at least 10 years . 
also how many jobs/assignments have I walked out on ? Prob over 20 easily 

or how many bad choices of jobs or jobs thought I 'had' to do that shouldn't have or didn't

help me? Heaps

ive been depressed on and off most of adult life ok in retrospect 

there is no General atmosphere . Usually worse at small or family businesses plus laborhire , all to be Avoided.

if places ok its all good. Sometimes still left, dunno.

overall I have not 'thrived' i went to uni 20yrs ago, did ok there yes prob thrived and prob did ok for a while in a lot of different roles and jobs til negative thoughts and saw leaving as only solution 

anyway hard to say re stigma. Short answer is Yes and dont tell anyone at work. Depression is one of those things employers pay lip service to. But they really just see it as a problem and All problems to them are solved by letting people go

[Former-Member]

Hey @Former-Member all is ok which is a bit weird lol. How are you going these days?

ah ok fair enough @TAB that’s a lot to digest. I didn’t know depression had a stigma lol, yeah re keeping it silent let’s see how long I last lol 

[Former-Member]

Things are going well @Former-Member I've had a nice day and am about to bring in the washing.  Have signed up to an inner circle group and have been reading a book they have published online, listening to transcripts and expanding my mind generally. Am about to switch off my computer. I hope you have a good evening

[Former-Member]
