You can read the piece of writing I wrote here: https://medium.com/@tmidao/confession-55fa5d4a3c0b https://medium.com/@tmidao/confession-55fa5d4a3c0b I'm always happy to clarify on any part that wasn't clear or you need more information on.

Firstly, depression is a serious mental illness with well studied chemical and therapeutic interventions. See a psychiatrist straight away. A few pills may really help your cause. Sign up for Medicaid (http://www.hfs.illinois.gov/medical/apply.html http://www.hfs.illinois.gov/medical/apply.html) and/or talk to the the Cook County Health System psychiatry department (http://www.cookcountyhhs.org/tag/psychiatry/ http://www.cookcountyhhs.org/tag/psychiatry/) I’ve read the Bible and Qur’an front to back 5 times each. They hold no meaning to me. I've run into some hardline Christians and Mormons in the Chicago software scene and writing that could very well have made you stone cold dead to them. Is your old boss from Wheaton, Illinois or nearby? That seems to be their headquarters.

  Actually I live in Indiana but very close to Chicago and commute to Chicago daily for work....well I did. My boss was from Indiana and I don't think he was either Christian or Mormon. I see a psychiatrist and a therapist twice a week. Obviously they're are cutting into my runway but I figured it's worth it since I've been doing much better ever since I wrote the piece of writing.

    Spending three hours a day on the South Shore Line would make anyone depressed! I bet you can get a software internship gig near you. Contact professors doing computational work at Notre Dame (http://ibms.nd.edu/clusters/computational-biology-bioinformatics/ http://ibms.nd.edu/clusters/computational-biology-bioinforma...) they may have room in their budget. Though the pay will not be extravagant. Indeed shows 300+ software gigs in South Bend: http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=software&l=South+Bend%2C+IN http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=software&l=South+Bend%2C+IN But DELETE THE FUCKING ARTICLE man. Obviously, it isn't helping your cause. Also definitely sue your former employer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8597953 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8597953

      As pragmatic as your solution of deleting the article is, I don't think that should be the action Fisher has to take here, it simply doesn't seem fair. If an employer takes issue with an article like that, then that's your indicator that they aren't right for you to begin with. But I have no experience with any of this so I can't conclusively say much.

      I'm deleting the article tonight but I wanted to make sure people got the whole story and I didn't mention the company at all. I'll definitely look into getting an internship gig and probably spend all of tonight and tomorrow applying for the software gigs that I think I'll be a good fit in. Still debating suing.
