Depression Understood Forums

To be honest i dont know. I hope it doesnt sound to entitled to say i feel like i paid my penance and then some. I would say the biggest problem is motivation. I work, for no reason. I have no interest in what i do. I have literally never taken a sick day. And at the end of the day i dont know why. ...

Thank you very much, this means alot. You make very good points. The only issue is ,most of the time ,and epecially in my case, this wasnt something i did by choice.
