I seem to have the most trouble with coping with my depression while I'm at work. Like many jobs, I'm trapped at a desk for 8+ hours a day and for some reason, that is when I feel my worst.

I have a hard time focusing on my work and my mind wanders way too much. I'm behind on some projects because I can't bring myself to work on them or do any research. I constantly think about quitting my job or wish I was at home in bed. Sometimes I go into the bathroom and just cry for a while and then go back to my desk and sit there and try to calm down, but it doesn't work most of the time.

I seem to do much better when I'm at home and can distract myself with various things or my husband is around to help cheer me up, but when I'm at work it's very hard.

I guess my question is: does anyone have solutions for dealing with depression while stuck at my desk all day at work? I'm looking for a new job that might be more interesting, but for right now I'd like to be less miserable while I'm there.
