I think that maybe in-home Transcriptionist need to get out more and be part of other things, and the lack of then might bring on the depression.  I could see where social anxiety could come into a factor in this lifestyle.  That why it is important to join groups and clubs and have interests and friends away from this computer.  As for transcription, I enjoying doing what I do and have done for the past 12 years.  Yeah, it has it bad points, but do does every job.  I probably make more than anywhere else I could around my town, I don't get paid vacations or even a paid sick day, but when I worked in an office It would take an act of congress to get a vacation day approved, so go-figure....

Some people say, "Gosh! I don't know how you do that all day", and  my response, Gosh! I don't see how you do what you do all day and you don't make half what I make!!!!!"  To each their own.  It is more than a job, it is a carreer and when you have a carreer you are continually learning.  Knowledge is power no matter what you do.   Where else can you be part of the birth a baby or two or three - with one mother who had been trying to have a child 7 times,  remove a bullet from a spinal cord of a police officer, counsel a battered homeless wife,  help a HIV patient try to find shelter,  have a 16 yo MVA patient come in and go through surgery after surgery and then see that he gets discharged home,  where else could you be a fly on the wall when all these things are going on and just sit back in wonder and sometimes be thankful, that is not my child or that is not my husband and that is not my parent!  And this can all be in one days' work.   Never got dirty, did not have to buy any gas and did not have to get dressed up to go to work to be a part of all this.  But it was my days' work. 

WOW did not mean to get into all that serious stuff there !

How cruel you are.  I AM not a crack addict - I have NEVER done drugs.  I don't drink.  I don't even smoke.  I do have a child that was involved in this tragedy.  Actually I had two - the one that I lost.  So I am sorry if I was "weak" for the tragedies that I did go through but I am learning to cope with life.  Life is hard and apparently it is sunshiney everyday at your house - and good for you - I don't want to wish anything bad on anyone - even when they have no lack of respect for others.  You should watch what you say - things could turn around on you in your happy life in an instant - and then what would you do.  Would you be considered lazy, worthless or something else that is an undeserving gesture of who you really are?  Maybe someone will say "they are just on crack - they deserve what they are getting.  Maybe that just goes to show what laziness will do to you.  They don't deserve anything better."  I was not asking for sympathy.  I was pointing out how fast things CAN turn around when you are off track.  Merely using my fall to try to prevent someone else's.

I do thank all of the wonderful remarks prior to the rude post.  I am healing but it takes times.  I am actually able to get up and not be sad about what I have lost and I have been able to THANK GOD every day for letting me grow through certain things in my life and that I know they happened for a reason.  The reason will be a brighter future!

Could it be suicidal depression?

About 3 years ago, before deciding on becoming an MT, there was an article--I am currently looking for it now--which stated that people who use a computer for excessive amounts of time are more likely to suffer from depression. Anxiety can also be caused by depression. So, I think all can be correct.

I think the most important thing is to try to stay active. With me, I have to have a second job, so I think that helps keep me in a social situation. I just hope maybe years down the road it doesn't affect me.

party at her home.  Low and behold she had a whole room full of toilet tissue she has spirited away from the office over the 30 years!!!!  She had grown up in the depression and I guess it was a big deal to have toilet tissue.  She sure hoarded it. 

with this?  From what I read, it doesn't sound like manic depression to me.  Sure, she has some issues going on there, major depression would be a pretty good guess, but does she have any manic episodes?

My ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law were both bipolar which is the new and improved way to say manic depressive and they were the exact opposite of hypochondria.  During the manic phase, they felt like they ruled the world.  According to them, they had never felt better, thought more clearly, or got more done, but the exact opposite was true.  They never slept.  They never finished anything they started.  They were incoherent at times, basically jumping from one subject to the next so you could not carry on any kind of coherent conversation with them.  Sometimes they were even delusional - my mother-in-law thought she was in love with a televangelist and divorced her husband and moved to be closer to the televangelist.  My ex-husband thought he was the victim racism when he got a speeding ticket.  He claimed the officer had something against Hispanics.  Nevermind that my husband was maybe one-eight Mexican on his mother's side and has a German last name.

Those are just a couple of examples of manic behavior.  It can even be more bizarre.  I could write a book based on what I've seen first hand and it can be very scary.

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...

We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 

But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.

What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.

My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....
