Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My anxiety is so high right now and i'm also very depressed. I took one of my meds just now, but that will only sort of help. It's still never enough. I have this bad history of quiting my jobs too early because of my anxiety and depresssion. I have this part time job right now, but I can't seem to handle it. I feel so sad and pathetic about it though too especially since I usually only work like 2 days a week. For most of the working world, that seems to be next to nothing. I'm not sure what to do about this. I have to take my anxiety meds before every shift and I still got all upset, anxious, and sad. I've already tried applying for disability several times in my past, but I can't seem to get approved. I even tried using a lawyer. I don't know what to do. I get so sad all the time. Not even just when I know I have to work. Should I keep the job or not? My anxiety get so high all the time. It's been getting gradually worse for a while now, but now that I have a job, it's dramatically worse. I feel so sick tp my stomach right now. Plus, I feel shaky and I can't sit still. I am apart of the anxiety group on here too. But I seem to need more help. What should I do?
I know how you are feeling right now I am pretty much going through the same things. I recommend bringing some pictures with you to work friends family or scenery. Even talk to the pictures of people in private when you get a break. Also if you can find a little bag with smelly good stuff try smelling something nice every once and a while or have a handkerchief with perfume sprayed on it. If you have an ipod listen to music on your breaks. Try doing long stretches before going to work, and sometimes yawning is good to get tension out.
