Hi I'm pretty new to this, I guess I need people to chat to who understand or at least try to
 I was diagnosed with depression about 8 months ago I hit a bad patch everything was getting me down n generally didn't know where to turn except my doctor. It has been there for a lot longer but I finally got the strength to get some help. I haven't seen a therapist yet I've got my first assessment next week. I've tried and tried to fight it and cope but I just can't any longer  I had my meds put up a few weeks ago as I just wasn't coping! But now I feel like I'm pushing everyone away. I've barely spoken to anyone in weeks I'm just too tired to make any effort. I have a full time job in a management role. It's a good job and good pay but I just can't do it! I feel so hopeless and like a complete let down right now. Work was my only escape but I can't even cope there anymore. |

Welcome to PC!
On my part, just wanna say you made the right choice in seeking help. I guess in depression, you have to go really down before you can bounce back up. Hang in there buddy.

Hello & Welcome, Can't-help-myself.
Do you believe your management duties have worsened the depression, or would you be as depressed in any other position? (Feel free to ignore my question.) I wish you a positive, therapeutic experience with the therapist.

Hi Rohag
thank you I hope so too The answer to that is yes and no At times I am fine I can cope if I'm in one place where I'm happy and supported but I've moved around a lot in my job lately so when I put that with not having a permanent home (I stay between 3 or 4 different houses each week as I'm not happy at home but can't actually live at the others) it kind of adds to the imbalance and creates no stability for me to help me focus and try to beat all the thoughts going through me. I've thought about stepping down but at the same time that will create money worries and the issue that my position is no longer being given out, so if I step down my only career aspect when I am ready is to try and get one step higher than I am now it's a huge leap to do and I don't think I could do with that much pressure |
