Hey,
I'm not entirely sure what blogs are for... I don't see the logic of reading about people's entire days and personal lives. But, having been a member before that forgot my password, I have to make one to join some groups. So... here's my current life!
Well I usually work at a life insurance company downtown in Kingston, Ontario that pays well, has good benefits, etc. I've been there about 3.5 years now and always had a reputation of being a happy, smiling guy who loved to joke around. Lately it's gone to shit. I have no motivation to do anything, I barely show up for work, and when I do I'm not productive. I was falling into a depression but I couldn't see it myself, but my manager once brought me into her office for a "off-the-record" conversation about how I've changed, I'm not the person I used to be when I was hired, etc.
That hit me really hard, because our manager is the kindest person you'll ever meet and she's very personable with her employees she even gave mes rides home after work for a good while until I moved. So when she told me that, it was a sudden realization that i'm falling into a depression, and a bad one at that. I've had it before but not to this extent. Plus I've been consuming excessive amounts of alcohol to try to make me happy.
Anyway, due to my impressionable record in the past within the company, and working with my psychiatrist, I'll be attending some facility in Guelph for 4-6 weeks. My work has agreed to pay all of the fees for me going there, plus I still get 75% of my salary on the disability benefit, so I'll be well off. It's supposed to be the best place to go in Canada, so I hope that's true. I'm really not looking forward to it, but I know it has to be done,
Yay! Sorry for the very dismal blog post. But this is what blog posts I've read look like, so I hope I did an accurate job. I think I put too much detail though, but I'm certainly not going back over to edit it, lol.
Cheers everyone, have great holidays!
