I have felt that way before too when I'm overwhelmed with a job, but also see the benefits. In my case, I'm not working right now. I'm taking care of myself first and on disability for now. I do think, that recovery from depression is like a dance. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. What is your situation? Do you have to work? Are you in debt? Can you take it 1 day at a time? Or can you look for an easier job? |
Thanks. I need to work. I am severely compromised financially. I am all alone. I have been trying to get help from friends and family for two years. Unfortunately, no one is that interested even when I have told them I have gotten worse. I called a hotline on Christmas. I have to figure out if I can do counseling but I am having money problems.
I went to the company for one job posting. They thought this job was a better fit. I think maybe this is why I am conflicted. I needed a job and pretty much said yes to this job on the spot even though it wasn't something I applied for. My plan was to do this job while looking for another.
You are right, absolutely. My inability to cope while I improve my situation is the problem.
