Hi Everyone,
I have been suffering from depression since 1997, though I am sure I had suffered well before this official diagnosis made by my doctor...For the past few years I have been dwelling sooooo very much upon the past. Why did I quit such and such a job, why did I get fired from such and such a job, why did I not take such and such a job way back in my last year of high school and first years of university (over 30 years ago!). Or, why did I drop out of university that time (three times), change majors (three times), move from apartment to apartments, city to city...I am married to a lovely Japanese woman and have two great kids. We live in a rural area of Japan. My wife has noticed how I have been living in my head the past few years, often beating myself uo over past mistakes and resorting to alcohol to numb the pain...
How can I get this to stop?
Thanks,
BZ
