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.


Unfortunately being overwhelmed and irritated are also symptoms of depression. While you may have reasons for feeling that way at work, the intensity of those feelings are escalated when you are depressed. As one counselor told me, I can't help change how you feel but I can help you think differently and that will change your feelings. In the mean time, try to start considering that your feelings aren't always an accurate guide. Feelings can be very fickle.
Try to think hopeful thoughts. Thoughts like "this job serves a purpose." "This job is a stepping stone to another job.""If I put in the effort of finding a better job, I will find a better job." "I can be content in these circumstances." Good luck on your job search! Find a good perspective-your cup is half full!! God bless!
