I get very little satisfaction from my job but it does pay well and like you I don't know what else I'm qualified for.

Two years and 9 months isn't really that long and when you look back one year, it goes by fast. But I also know how time stands still when you're depressed. Find a little fun somewhere mate... Anything.. Even reading or meeting up with a friend.

What will you do when you stop working? 60 is young, it's like the new 50.
I'm 52 as well...that you for the perspective on this. I feel like I'm in the same spot - successful, but struggling with depression and anxiety. But I really appreciate your perspective. It does go by quickly.
