I was diagnosed with clinical depression and put on celexa 4 months ago.

I have not worked in over a yr b/c per I was always sad about my job (in the past) and the turns that my life was taking.

Anyways, I applied for a job 3 months ago and they finally offered me the position yesterday – I accepted and I start in 2 weeks(cause me and the hubbie need the money)!

Now I am concern about my depression getting in the way. I won’t be able to lay down off and on throughout the day or come and go as I please (as a distraction plan).

What should I do to manage my depression and make my new call center job a positive experience?

p.s. just found out i’m 7 weeks pregnant!
