I have pretty mild depression and social anxiety, which I have actually been managing really well this week (Yay! this is the first time I've felt like I wasn't anxious in months!) but I just got a critical email from my boss and my mood almost immediately went back down. I'm starting to feel anxious and depressed again and I hate, hate, hate it.

What I have done in the past...when I am overloaded and they "do not get it"... I ask "what are the priorities?" "There are many things to accomplish - I want to make sure you and I are on the same page". Maybe...just maybe they may assign some of your minor duties to someone else so you can get the work done. My issue is when I feel like I am busting my butt and some of the co-workers do not have the same work ethic. Manage your manager  .
