Hi

[Todda]

I am a professional - does that really have to a uni degree, what about life skills and being a survivor over victim. I work in the area of child welfare, am a mum of 2 amazing adults and am unhappy with my life. If God or whoever is out there wants me to keep going, i would like to know. I just want sleep ... with creepy dreams and exhaustion.

Thank you for listening

Hi Todda, welcome

Not many people survive in high stress jobs especially if you have any mental illness.

Can I suggest googling these

hi Todda, welcome to the site and no one can ever stop the power of depression, being a professional, a blue collar worker or someone who is unemployed, but what we can do is learn how to avoid the triggers which may cause it.

Unfortunately awful dreams may come with this illness and these are what frighten everyone suffering from any type of depression.

A professional does their work but then there are times when they also need help from those who have been through it. Geoff.
