>I'm not a quick thinker when it comes to forming an opinion

I have this too, some people are looking for instant answers to vague questions which I'd want to discuss further before making a recommendation. One trick I've learnt is to repeat back to them your understanding of their requirement and that a gives you time to think but it also allows them to develop their idea as they realise that they'd not fully thought it out so a win for all.

Hi Arsenijs,

A good therapy for a bad experience like this is to write a blog and tell your friends about it. Many of us have had similar experiences in our lives and while it is painful at the time you will find that you emerge from the experience better than you were before it. I have learned that one of the most important things in business relationships is to have a very clear written agreement prior to doing the job. Then no one is surprised, or expecting more than they are getting.

Add this episode to life lessons.

Contract or not with the changes being made, it would be difficult to achieve a result.

It sounds like you are better being out of there, and I wonder if the IP you have developed belongs to you , your boss or the client.?

I'm sure it might be something you could refine for other purposes.

You are quite right to focus on something new and not dwell on it.

I agree with DAB, and just wish my best hoping to find you here with new updates and posts. Hope you can have a nice Christmas and start - just I understand your happiness in this sense - following your project and the new things that happened in the community.

I can sympathize.

Depression is a very subtle illness and very misunderstood.

For some of us, medication solves the problem. For others, more therapy is needed and an adjustment to lifestyle is usually warranted.

I know my life improved greatly after I stopped my high pressure job so that I could work on things I enjoyed.

While there are still a number of things I would like to do, I understand that my disability prevents me from working on them.

So keep positive, find a new job that makes you happy and continue on.
