I had an emotional breakdown at my 19.25 hr job and quit. I only have worked there for 8 days today. I feel so depressed. I'm seeing my psychiatrist next Thursday. I feel suicidally depressed for quitting. I'm just going to have to stay on disability until I'm ready to get off, even if that means years. I thought everything was going so good but I guess not. I just want to hide under my blankets and sleep.

I am so sorry, bewise! Big hugs

Please don't beat yourself up about this. I admire you so much for even trying to get back to work. You are right that you will eventually be able to try again. We've all got to just keep trying.

Have you had a therapist to support you during this whole back to work period? I hope if you have a therapist you have contacted him/her today. It would be really great if he/she could see you asap.
Thanks for this!

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Please don't beat yourself up over this it takes a lot of courage to quit a job. Hopefully your pdoc can get you going on the right track.

I'm so sorry. I quit my job abruptly in March and felt similarly depressed. Take care of yourself and keep us updated on your state.

Don't beat yourself up. I had a bad breakdown on the 2nd day of trying to teach and had to quit. If it's making you so upset, so soon, it doesn't sound right for you. I don't know your financial position. Ours is not good since I don't work. But I try and I try and nearly every time ends up with me close to going into the psych hospital. Multiple pdocs, even my PCP have told me I can't work. But I don't qualify for disability either. Argh!

Keep yourself safe

I’m so sorry!! I’ve been there. There will come a time when it all works out. It just wasn’t the job for you. For now, take care of yourself.
Thanks for this!

Good luck. For what it's worth, I've been in similar spaces. I hope things resolve themselves soon.

I'm sorry the job thing didn't work out, but your mental health is most important. I'm glad you're seeing your psychiatrist and a therapist soon.
