Hi all,
This is my first post, I'm pretty new in here. I just needed to write this out somewhere. I'm at work right now, and I can't seem to function properly with others. Everything annoys me, my colleagues annoy me. For some reason I can't function in a normal work environment. I don't know why I am like this. I'm always the one asking how people are and so on, and I get nothing in return. This just makes me more annoyed and I stop trying to make contact. I start to get withdrawn, not say much, and I'm sure people think I'm morose/weird or something like that. But it never starts out like this. I always try to be in good spirits.
It just really effects how I'm coping at work. It's like I somehow destroy every relationship with other people one way or another, this always happens - it's like they can't figure me out, and then they keep away. I know I'm not happy-go-lucky because of the depression and so on, but I still somehow manage these days. I'm not in the worst of states of depression right now as I was 4-5 months ago, but I'm still not good.
But I am nice one-on-one with people and in small groups. This thing just occurs so often with me, I'm afraid how I will manage work in the future.
Do you all experience anything like this type of difficulties being around people, like at work, you don't know well because of your depression?
