We’re In A Contained Depression That May Last As Long As A Decade
Kevin Feltes, an economist for the Jerome Levy Forecasting Center, solicited my opinion on a couple of their recent articles. Levy comes down on the side of deflation, as do I. But, the devil is in the details, as always.

How much is enough for retirement? Would …?

during the years I’ve worked I worked hard and has been a diligent saver, and tried to invest smart. (however I am not a good financial planner, otherwise I wouldn’t be drawing up this post..)
I am now in 45, at the end of my mortgage, very little saving in cash but own 2 apartments mortgage free, which can be rented out.
During this recession （or should be called depression!) I’ve just lost my job, and the job market looks pretty bleak out there. So many people applying for one position and you hear the stories of ‘there are others who match the skill matrix better’ or ‘u r over-qualified’. People say unemployment rate may remain high for yrs to come. That means if you are left out of work for a couple of yrs, the job market would have moved on, and you’d be left with big hole in your work history. and that disadvantages you even further in a fast moving industry.

I am just thinking…as a possiblity…
If I have to give up my career now and from now on work on any odd jobs like stacking shelves (which I don’t mind, and probably good for my health), will that be sufficient for the rest of my life.
I am thinking: as for now, rents from the 2 apartments + a few hundred pd earned from the low paid job should be sufficent to cover food and bills, it won’t be a great income but I can live on it while I can still do those jobs.
But what if I reach certain age, say 65, and cannot even do those jobs? I wont have much cash saving, but I have 2 old apartments which can generate some income (looking at current living standard 2 rents will not cover all the bills for an elderly who has a much bigger health bill than the young). Till my saving (probably not much) is exhausted, I can sell one apartment then another. (this is the reason I tried hard to save to get these 2 properties at the expense of a luxury lifestyle – to have them as my pension, as I do not have a good pension fund and I only started to contribute a few ys ago).
Will this be a viable route to go?

Can someone please help me w/the assessment of this individual?

Mya is a very successful businesswoman in the high-stress high-powered world of corporate
finance. She has been referred to you by the company’s employment assistance program. Mya
presents herself as a no nonsense business professional. She is frank and honest about the events
that has brought her to your office. She tells you that although she tells herself that she will only have one or two glasses with dinner, she usually finishes the whole bottle.

“About five years ago, I started having trouble sleeping and started to take a
tranquilizer (5 mg Valium). I normally take one or two pills two to four times a
week to help me sleep through the entire night.”

In the morning she drinks at least 3 to 4 cups of coffee daily, even on the weekends. She noticed
that her sleeping problems developed around the same time her Dad died. He was only in his early
50’s and they were very close. His death hit her hard and she says she wanted to give in to a big
depression. However, she fought it and lost herself in her work. She makes it a point to work out at
least three times a week in the morning before going to work. In addition to the above medications,
Mya is also prescribed Xanax as needed for panic attacks and diet pills (amphetamine congeners)
to control her weight, a problem she had since she was a child. Over the last year she has become
more reclusive. She can barely make it to business dinners and after-work functions. Lately
however, she has noticed that she has been steadily increasing her use of wine. Before, she would
only have a few glasses with dinner but now

“….more often than not I finish off the bottle before going to bed. I just can’t seem to
stop. A lot of times I will come home and tell myself that I’ll only have one glass and no
more but by the time I go to bed, the bottle is empty and I’m deciding whether I should
open another or not. I never used to drink to excess or take anti-anxiety medication
before. Now I can’t seem to stop drinking or taking these ‘downers’ at social events. I
can’t seem to control when I take them and things are happening that I’m not too
happy about. Of course the alcohol adds to my weight problem which then causes me to
take more of my Redux. Then I have to increase my Xanax to calm my nerves and also
take my Valium to make sure I get a full nights sleep. It has become a very vicious
circle. All this has been going on for about a years but last week put the “cherry on the
pie.”

Mya tells you that last week she was to meet the firm’s top client at a business luncheon. She
could not get out of bed that morning. It took all her willpower to get up and get dressed. As it was,
she was still 20 minutes late, “which is inexcusable.” She was so nervous and sick she had to
excuse herself in the middle of her presentation. In the bathroom she took another Xanax to calm
her nerves. Then at the luncheon she could not stop herself from ordering several glasses of wine
and had to be assisted to her car after the meeting was over.

“My client spoke to my boss and staff and then canceled his account with me. The next
day I met with my boss and he recommended (ordered) I make an appointment with our
EAP program (or be terminated.) I’m really scared. Work is all I have. I can’t afford to
blow it. Do you mind if I smoke?”
1. In your practice with Mya, what assessment strategies would you use? Why?

2. What would your initial assessment of Mya be?

5. Based upon your assessment, what intervention strategies would you consider? Why?
6. What referrals would you recommend, and in what order?

Am i bipolar or just overly paranoid?

am i bipolar? or am i something else? or am i normal but just excessively paranoid over hormones?

cause basically i dont think anyone in my family is bipolar, and apparently most mental illnesses are genetic… (as i heard)

sometimes when i’m walking back home, for some unknown reason i’ll suddenly end up skipping and feeling really happy but a few minutes later i’ll feel absolutely down in dumps.

and like eg. even when something that is just remotely funny/lame happens, i can end up luaghing like crazy whilst everyone’s like “…” but on other days or maybe even on the same day when something acutally funny happens, i cant even let out a single luagh when everyones laughing like mad. as in i know it’s funny, i feel like laughing but i cant. somehow i’l feel to sad/bad to laugh.

sometimes i’l be super motivated to get work done and halfway i’ll drift off into depression or my mind will just go blank or i’ll start thinking about millions and gazillians of random stuff that arnt even related. sometimes halfways, even whilst like writing my journals i’ll end up drifting off some where else.

and sometimes there seems to be these huge blocks of time that just seems to fly by without me even noticing/realising it. like i’ll start out at 2+ 3 pm staring out the window or something and then wham. it’s dinner time already.

i’m kind of freaking out, cause i realy cant afford all this wasted time cause of my moods. i’m in a private school so i’m aiming for a scholarship to ease the finances at home… and my grades cannot/must not drop any further than the horrible standards they are now :/

and thank you everyone for taking the time to read and answer! D
oh just to add on, i thought i was bipolar or something but then apparently most bipolar people had really long manic/depressed periods eg. months…
but mine varies rather quickly…:/

Guilt
The deeply secretive cause of our failures, diseases, depression & negative energy
