Procrastination or Depression: What came first?

Hi jaj, I am happy we were able to help you! As for what to say to old coworkers about your job ... kiddo, you DO have a job. It's no ones business whether or not it is a paying job. What you are doing certainly sounds like work to me, and you be proud of yourself. When you get up in the morning and have a schedule, that's work. When you organize your husband's business, that is work. Please keep us posted. And best of luck.

Great thread! That's the same question I ask myself all the time, Do I procrastinate because I'm depressed or vice versa? The positive talk thing sounds good, but as with everything easier said than done for me. I'm always amazed that I've been able to have as much success as I've had in my career. I wish things didn't have to be so hard and I could enjoy myself more. I may have to dust off the program again and see if it helps any this time.

I have tried to post a couple of times and my post dissapeared when I clicked post now. Just testing this one.

Stock Lady, I have considered the idea that maybe I am procrastinating everything which in turn will procrastinate my career because maybe I really won't enjoy accounting as a career. It is something I am capable of doing but my primary interest in it was because my husband needed help in that area of his business. This way I could help my husband and have a career that would give me a decent income. I am considering the possiblity of going back to college and this time for a career that I would enjoy more. In the past I did take some career tests. The results seemed to depend on what mood I was in that day. I have taken the Briggs Meyers test a few times. The results I come up with most often are INFJ and ISFJ. Another day I will post a thread on my thoughts about this career thing. Everyone's input is always so helpful. Thanks.
