Hi hopeless. Sorry you are having challenges with depression. Maybe you need more help than you can give yourself. Maybe a psychiatrist or therapist needs to step in before things get worse. You might get meds from your doc to lift your mood before things collapse at work. What you describe as ignoring you could be isolating to fend off the dark specters that haunt you.

Many people here at PC find they can share these feelings and what they are going through with the confidence that people go through similar things and can empathize. So many forums are offered as well as Chatrooms (after you have 5 posts or comments on others posts). Depression chat meets on Thursday night at 9pm EST and Anxiety Friday at 8PM.

Please feel free to private message me or any of the Community Liaisons by left clicking on the name in blue to the left of their post) for questions or just to share.
