Very touching indeed
Your friend Vlad may have been trying to "shock" you out of your depression, but it seems he was meddling in your family business and viciously, at that. Remember that old commercial "Don't get mad, get Glad" (trash bags)
Well as far as Vlad goes, maybe you should "see Vlad, get mad, be glad." Give him a piece of your mind. He did not hesitate to splatter you with the contents of his mind.
This may be a stupid and insensitive question, but why don't you just go back to work and just see what happens? Maybe they don't want you back... Have you tried getting any other jobs?

Sometimes we get something we deserve when we strive for it but a lot of
the time we strive and don't get it! And much of what happens has nothing to do with what we deserve. I don't even think it is fate.
Is it possible to find an objective person to speak to regarding MDD and your situation? Are there free counselling services about? Perhaps you could ask around.
I did not have a situation as serious but a couple of years ago I was ill and it was just at the point when I was likely to get the job I had worked toward for years.
At that time I had to let everything I worked just slide away. I thought I was OK about it and then I was referred to a counsellor and realized that actually it was a lot to deal with.
I think it was mean of your father to say you didn't deserve the shopping. But maybe on some level he does want to help.
Like Ookrana said, this is a deeply touching post.

hi 
thanks for visiting and your input. that friend of mine is often very insensitive and sometimes very hard to be around. I do not socialize with many people. For one thing, I never really meet anyone that I would like to spend my time with.
Like money, time is very valuable to me and I am quite particular in my investing. he has very redeeming qualities on many fronts. In many ways he is one of the most outstanding people i have ever met. The fact that i choose to spend my time with him is telling. I have low self esteem and character flaws, plus developmentally I have been affected. It may be that I am settling for less. It really is hard to say. We are both very unique individuals. Perhaps as I continue my lessons I will grow to have more self respect. It could be the case that I will look back to these days and proclaim, what the hell was I thinking? It would not be first time.
Incidentley,I haven't send the word *cull* that you used. Words are a great hobbie of mine. I always love new ones, cull=extract. lover, mysteria
