[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been evaluated for depression?  If this is what you are experiencing, you might want to consider therapy and medication first to stabilize before you make a decision about your career that may have lasting repercussions.[/quote]

OP here. I have seen a therapist in the past. I may have some depression, I'm not sure. I actually have a lot of pretty happy days, I just cannot seem to find the motivation and energy to get up at 430AM to work out. If I could swing that, life would be a lot better because I would be addressing my health issues. [/quote]

There is nothing wrong with NOT feeling motivated to get up at OMG 4:30am to work out!  and, for those who do that, kuddos to you.  But while you may have depression, you can't assume you are depressed because you lack the motivation to get up at 4:30am (when you probably aren't getting 10 hours of sleep because, kids) to do anything.  Flames would need to be licking at my behind to get me up regularly at 4:30am to work out!  FLAMES!

Can you just take 1 week off to yourself, keep the children in childcare (you can pick them up 1 hour earlier and make your evenings go more smoothly if you want) and take the time to just breathe, sleep, and see if you really want to take 1 or 2 years off?  [/quote]
