I'm at work. I've posted here before and you've helped.

My job was given to someone less qualified, who doesn't know what they're doing. I feel betrayed there, but then they also gave her employee of the month. I have social anxiety (due to an abusive relationship that caused my ptsd) so i can't do the customer service aspect. I try to look for a different job, but I don't get so much as a call back.

I've lost my fiends due to my behavior before, during, and after my relationship. I stifle to find new ones. My depression keeps me in bed or on the couch moat days and is hard to find motivation to do anything, even the things that I used to love doing.

I'm feeling worthless, both in my job and my personal life. I don't know why I'm even here, why I should still be here,because I've never caused anyone so much grief as I did my old friends and now I miss them so much it hurts.

I have reasons to carry on, to keep going, but even they are staying to look small in this grand scheme. It's so hard and right now I'm losing this fight. I don't want to sleep, but that's all I can do. I'm so tired all the time.

At the risk of sounding like a therapist, have you tried any antidepressants?

Stay strong. I can understand what your going through with feeling betrayed at work. A similar thing happened to me. What I did was focus on my duties and my responsibilities and let them see how valuable I am. We tend to compare ourselves and more times then not the outcome is that we're not good enough, but you ARE! Just remember that things will get better. Stay strong and positive.

I believe that your feelings of being unworthy and your loneliness are possibly causing you to feel depressed. Depression can cause tiredness and many other issues. If you haven't talked with a doctor or therapist, you might want to consider it. It sounds like you have a lot of things to work through with someone else taking your job and having been in an abusive relationship. Sometimes we just need a little help to get through difficult times. Hope you feel better.
