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.
It is easy for me to have anxiety and depression from work. I feel so critical of myself a lot and wish I could stop. It is a constant battle to accept little mistakes along the way throughout my day. If I freak out about them it makes it worse and causes more. Also I feel fake going through the motions is so boring. I could use advice on how to make interactions with strangers more enthusiastic. I like people but I'm shy. Some days are better and some days are worse. Also interactions with my co-workers sometimes require admitting mistakes which I am working on, and working on being accepting of. I can be a perfectionist, for myself and others. I think thats where my depression is, its more like an obsessive compulsive disorder, mostly its slightly neurotic. I suggested an obsessive compulsive disorder community.

I don't know what you do for a living so it's kinda hard to say, but I know that if you smile when interacting when people or talking on the phone, you sound happier, are perceived as pleasant and makes things a lot easier. So smile, even if you don't feel like it. It becomes habit after awhile. Laugh at the mistakes, it really is no big deal. xoxo

I'm a cashier. I like working in the department better. I was also a hostess and a waitress. I'm finally starting a job at an insurance company so that will pay a little more, maybe I'll be more motivated!
