I was trying to cope at work and being a perfectionist at work is not helpful, in a 'caring' profession you have to learn to say no. I didn't know how to do that and almost worked my self to death, with the approval and encouragement of bosses! I saw the most wonderful psychiatrist & psychologist, and was off work for 3 months. That episode changed my life. I worked really hard and with CBT came out a stronger person who now easily says no - most of the time. I haven't had a bad episode since - about 5 years ago. As I still get very 'down' at times I've decided for me, the best thing is to continue with the medication - SSRI's. But that's and individual decision between my great GP, Psych & I. I totally agree that you can't always deal with it. I was very angry for a long time at my now ex bosses as I my thoughts were 'why did I have to almost die before you took notice', now my motto is 'What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger' Sorry, a long post.
