I applied to some positions and got calls back (that is amazing in my book!). But they didn't pan out in my favor. Healthy me would just take the rejection and anxiety of all this and file it away and keep moving. But depressed me now has a hard time with a process that is inherently not kind. I am always worried about how my depression effects the potential employee I am projecting. Can these people tell I am really broken inside? So this might not have been the best timing to decide to look for another job.
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I hate my job, and I really want to find a new one, but I have no confidence in myself, and I only have like 1 year of work experience doing something I do not quite want to do. Plus it's harder for me because I'm a designer on top of having a good portfolio I have to show that I have a great personality and communication skills, but that's pretty much impossible since I'm falling deeper into depression...

I can't tell if the job is making me depressed or I can't work because my depression is making it hard for me. But I think getting better should be priority, though I am afraid of telling my boss I have issues...
