Ed,
Please don't make any hasty discisions about dropping out. I can tell from your posts that you are very knowledgable and will be very successful in this field. Taking it slower isn't a bad thing, and many people do that. My husband took his Engineering slower, and went on to get his Masters at a later date. (after we had our daughter) He now has a prominant position with a World Wide Company and it didn't matter a #*&^%^^ that he took more time getting there. Treat your depression, and realize that one of the guys sitting next to you probably has the same problems you have. You would be amazed. I really wish you could read your posts with our perspective. I was stunned and saddend to hear of your thinking about this, and hope you don't totally give up. Take your time. Get the help and start back when you're ready.
I am trying to think of everything I can say right now to get you to look at this, the way were are looking at this. We have faith in you, we are here for you, just as you are here for us. Can you think about taking a break without giving up the entire program?
My thoughts are with you.
