Please do take care, Zen!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Zen, you are ill. Building on what WS said -- mental illness is an illness, and it needs to be taken care of. Acknowledging that there's a problem, and that you need help, can be the hardest steps to take.
I've found support groups to be helpful. The DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) would be worthwhile places to start.
And, good luck in your treatment!
I'm really proud of you, Zen. It's hard to ask for help, and sometimes it's even harder to admit you need it. I hope the depression starts to lift soon.
But I've been adulting for quite enough years I shouldn't have to prove I'm an adult anymore.
Yes you are, and no you don't have to prove anything. It is good to read that you are taking the steps necessary to feel better. I hope you find the help you need quickly. Grateful that your workplace values you, but not surprised, because we value you too!
Zen, I'm glad you'll have some space to get to a better place.
Zen, I am so proud of you.
Dear Self
Please try to remember that you probably slept so badly last night because you had a cup of caffeinated coffee yesterday morning. Do not have another cup today. I know it's tempting. Don't do it. Stick to the placebo.
Love
Me
Completely unrelated to anything outside of my little world - how did we manage to come up a case short on an item we just received that is all going out on my customer's orders? How? The quantity received was verified, right? That was last week. Gah!
