((((DSB)))) I can totally relate in that being at the office while having a rough go of it is quite challenging. I echo the sentiments of the other members...but I also know exactly how hard it can be. Especially if you are dealing with lots of different personalities!

Some days I want to tell the more annoying ones to ... well you know ... but thankfully I am able to somewhat control myself.

If someone is really getting on my nerves, though, I take a break and leave the office for a bit to try to regroup. I try to remember my positive affirmations, sometimes I will text my T with a few words...she sends a supportive short reply. It helps me a lot because she knows the back story.

I also realized that when I am not being challenged, feeling unproductive, bored etc it is a recipe for disaster. The depression feels worse. But I remind myself that I do have some goals, and without this particular job, it is unlikely I would be able to do my intensive work with my T. so I can actually get to the goals. I have to address all of my "stuff" first or I will just bring all of my Dx's to the next job.

Bottom line is that I don't want to be stuck anymore so I would rather stay and push myself so I can ultimately feel better (a stepping stone).

That said I also know that pilates or yoga or simply taking a walk around the block too might help but when I am depressed these sorts of things are virtually impossible.
(on bad days I am lucky if I can just make it out of the house!)

My T though gives me homework and/or tasks based on how I am progressing and I am committed to hold up my end - and I trust she wont give me more than I can manage -this and that helps.

I hope this helps even a tiny bit get you through until the new job comes along
