I'm starting with a new therapist and going through all the history stuff. Realized that since the age of 20 I've never gone more than a few months where I didn't have some kind of issues, and the longest I've gone between complete breakdowns is 6 years.   


I've never thought of MDD as limiting my options, but looking back it really has. I can never get momentum going in my career or friendships before everything goes to shit and I have to start over.   


Does anyone with lifelong MDD have a career that actually works with depression as opposed to having peaks and valleys of fucking up at work and then having to scramble and over work in order to compensate?   


In the process of changing careers but not sure the new career is going to be any better than the job to job life I've had so far.
