It's unfortunate that your "friend" dumped you when you became depressed! Unless there's more to this, I would think this 'friend' would have supported you more than this. A REAL friend hangs with you thru thick and thin. They understand when you become "ugly" in bad situations. Hopefully he'll think this thru and see where HE may have been to blame.

I'm so sorry you're sinking into depression. I truly understand, as depression has been a constant companion of mine since I was a child. I've had a lot of therapy, and now medication keeps me feeling pretty darn good. I'll probably have to take it the rest of my life according to my doctor.

It's a shame your job situation is so negative. That can really have a huge effect on you, obviously. You may want to consider looking for another job, even tho you just began this job in October. Being in a toxic work place just isn't worth your sanity. I found that true myself after working at a job for MANY years and having a new employee try to drive me out of my job. She almost succeeded -- I ended up suing my employer, and won!!

Get some rest -- regroup, and take care of YOU for awhile. Then see how you feel. Do you really want to stay at that job? Do you owe this friend an apology? Does this friend owe YOU an apology? Is the depression easing or getting better? Should you see a doctor? After you've taken some time to rest, ask yourself these questions and then take some action.

I wish you the very best. God bless & take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee
