Profile For Ted K.

Hey everyone,

Before I start, I want to thank you for your help, as I've been reading on here for about a week.

So, a little background on me, I'm 36, single, and not involved with anyone. I've been at my same IT job for 12 1/2 years, and I'm pretty sure I've had enough. All the questions, responsibilities, and pressure on me, with no assistance.

Now, I know there will be pressures with driving too, but it'll be different.

I'm going to start with a couple questions, but I expect this will turn into a general stream of consciousness thread.

First, I've been diagnosed with Chronic makor depressive disorder, aka, clinical depression, and anxiety disorder. I've been on medication, effexor, for several years for this, along with Klonopin for the anxiety. I've been basically symptom free for years, until some recent work issues flared the anxiety, and prompted my career change thoughts.

From what I've read so far, both these medication/condition combinations disqualify me from driving. I'm wondering if anyone on here has either delt with this, or knows if there's a medical exemption available.

Second, and possibly a stranger question, I'm a big guy, 6'3" tall, and I'm wondering about the "average" size of a sleeper berth. I've read the average is a twin bed, but I'd lke to get some confirmation on this. For reference, my home bed is a twin Extra Long, but I have 2-3 extra inches on that.

So, thanks in advance,

Ted
