no wonder I was dysthymic for so many years.

No surprise there.
That's why I like being on night shift; only a few people and less craziness to deal with.

mr. wiki says: "Dysthymia, sometimes also called neurotic depression, dysthymic disorder, or chronic depression, is a mood disorder consisting of the same cognitive and physical problems as in depression, with less severe but longer-lasting symptoms. The concept was coined by Robert Spitzer as a replacement for the term "depressive personality" in the late 1970s. In 2013, when the American Psychiatric Association released the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders known as DSM-5, the name Dysthymia was changed to Persistent Depressive Disorder." It tends to be characterized by fatigue and other physical symptoms, low energy, low self-esteem, and changes in appetite or sleep. I remember in the depths of my uncivil service, hearing about a fellow employee who had been missing/AWOL for a week, turns out he had a heart attack in his car in the parking lot and nobody noticed him for a week! anyways, at that time I was VERY ENVIOUS of him, wishing it could have been ME that kicked the bucket conveniently early, and cursing my lack of luck in that regard.

I think work is a major *cause* of stress and depression, but what can you do?

if you have any say in the matter, find a job that is as inoffensive as you can rate. then save/invest as much of what you can save as possible and make retirement plans ahead of time.

My first job was cleaning out meat trucks with a fire house.
My current job almost 50 years later has a different kind of stress.
Stress reduction and asking for help is not always my strong suit.
Pass me the coloring book.

This is extremely good advice, really.
