I wish I had time to find that thread where you said you sold out in the "dotcom" years and now you retired.

I pity that you feel the need to stroke your ego by giving uneducated psychiatric evaluations to someone whom you've never met.

 

[QUOTE=C_Unit,Feb 6 2007, 04:39 PM] well at one point in my life i got really, really depressed.

 

i never said it.

let it go.....

 

regarding depression: When I moved back from England I was mildly depressed for about 2.5-3 months. Never having any family history of any sort of mental illness (except extreme nervousness, if that can count) it took me a bit to clock that I was mildly depressed (thank you intarweb for listing the symptoms).

I was always one to think people were crazy for NEEDING shrinks and psychologists and so forth, but once I realized that I could potentially become one of "those" people - it changed my perspective.

I started going to the gym and told my best friend "I'm still a bit messed up about everything going on, drag me out of my house if you have to but please MAKE me socialize with people" - which she then did (she's wonderful, I <3 her and I've done the same for her in the past as she's battled with psychological issues her entire life). By Nov/Dec I was feeling much better and a lot more positive about things... needless to say I never want to feel that way again. Ever.

With regards to someones earlier request to hear from people who were NOT happy, here's my 2006 in review:
Jan - 4/5
Feb - 3/4
March - 2/3
April - 1/2
May - 2/3
June - 3/4
July - 6/7
August - 5/6
Sept - 7/8
Oct - 8/9
Nov - 7/8
Dec - 8

Which brings me to my current state.... the latter portion of the year was not effected by any sort of external personal interaction (my personal life is probably the best it's been in years, if not ever - and with that aspect of my life I'm 100% happy) - however other influences caused it to fluxuate.

The beginning of the year was a different story, personal life was shit, complete and UTTER shit. Other things were 100% fine.

For being a generally happy person, the years of 2005 and 2006 threw me for a LOOP - especially the first half of 2006.

I feel that through that, I've gained a lot of wisdom, a heaping load of "life experience" and my life has (quite literally) come full circle from where it was going in 2005-2006.

In short, I'm now a single (as in not married, I am dating someone) young professional living in Charlotte, NC working at a fabulous job at a fabulous company living with one of my closest friends.

Had my life taken the direction it was planned to go in, I would have been a married young professional working a dead-end job in Bristol, England or Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 

how do you know it would have been a dead-end job?

 

I researched the companies, had previously lived in Bristol for a year and knew outright that there weren't many positions I was suitable for - the open positions all required 3-5 yrs experience in the UK (or well, all over) which I didn't have.

I looked into it quite a lot, contacted quite a few companies, called old personal contacts and the only places I would have been able to start looking for work was a temp agency.

Ordinarily that wouldn't have been so bad, but as the person I was supposed to be married to was just staying in Bristol as "he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life and didn't want to move near London while he figured it out, just to move again a few months later" - I couldn't have gone where the jobs were (and where, in fact, I had an offer - London) and he refused to move. He was planning on moving in 6-8 months so I couldn't even look for longer postings, as I personally didn't want to get a job I liked and be forced to move...even ignoring the fact that it would be very hard to get a job that I did like and that was in line with my career goals... and yes, it would be a "forced" scenario.

I'm all for making the best of the situation, but in this case there was a virtually nonexistant chance that I could have launched my career in the manner in which I was capable of launching my career. I would, essentially, be biding my time until HE figured out what HE wanted to do and then moved to wherever HE needed to do it at, pulling me along (and me just hoping that it wasn't some small village or something).

Fair question though, who knows - perhaps I might have lucked out and ended up with a fantastic job... only to have to pick up and leave it 6 months later. Either way, I was getting the shit end of the deal and my goals were always second-best to someone elses. There was no compromise in this situation. One way or the highway and I chose the highway in the end.

I know it's long, sorry.

 

if you don't mind me asking, what do you do?

 

ruh-roh. now he's going after katie.
