Overall, my new depression medication, Wellbutrin seems to be easing the harsh depression. That's a good thing. My job is still irritating. Today a co-worker talked to me like I was trash. I don't think it's personal because she talks to everybody that way and has had quite a few people upset with her. I have tried to keep my mouth shut with her but I don't think I can deal with her much longer. To top it off we are shorthanded because one person is out on vacation, but we are still expected to do the same amount of work. I made a couple of mistakes trying to do 8 things at once. They weren't dangerous mistakes that hurt anybody but I was hounded to death about them. I went home rather angry and frustrated.

Sorry to hear that.
Being shorthanded doesn't help.

Hi , I just have to ask about how long , side effects ect about your new med and happy to hear it's working for you.. I have been prescribed the same thing only it's the knock off Bupropion ... I put a thread out about how I am currently drug free for the first time in years and can't distinguish yet if I'm still stabilizing or depression is back. So I have not started it yet ( dr knows) but terrified anxiety panic about starting it if I have too...

It is good that you recognise there was nothing personal in your coworker's behaviour, that is a sign of strength within you. However, you and your other coworkers don't deserve to be treated like dirt. If you feel you can't put up with it then vent at her, because she is offhand with other people you'll find you'll have a lot of support. I know what it is like to make mistakes under pressure and then make more mistakes because of agonising about the earlier mistakes. Try and get some rest and forget all about the workplace. Remember you only need to work to live and you don't have to live for work.

To Forever Hopeful, I like that name. I have only been on the bupropion for about 2 or 3 weeks now. It does seem to ease the depression. It also seems to make me think more clearly. I am also on buspirone 10mg twice a day. My hat is off to you, managing without meds. Bupropion seems to be helpful, but it has side effects I think I can live with. One side effect is I have trouble going to sleep at night so now I just stay up later and get a few things done. Of course I wake up tired the next morning. I am more energetic so I like that. I wonder if the feeling of extra anger came from being on bupropion. Of course I am not going to go off the handle and hurt anyone. It's like anger replaced what would have been a crying spell. Don't know if that helps. I think all these meds have some side effects. I was on citalopram before. It didn't have many side effects but it didn't help either.

I feel so emotionally bad this morning I am going to have to force myself to go to work. I am crying as I speak. I know if somebody pushes my buttons I will explode at work. Thought of suicide but that would only hurt my family and the people who love me. They don't deserve that. If I disappear off this earth the people at work will just replace me with another dummy and won't think twice.

Just do the best you can and don't let other's berate you. I've been in a similar position and refused to get myself upset about it. Being human, there's just so much you can do.

Good for you for going to work despite how you are feeling. I have been off work for so long now I can barely imagine what it was like to work full time or how I will cope when I do go back. The only thing right for me is I get a decent amount of sick pay. I know I'm lucky with that one. Be strong and take care and if you need to explode go for it because it might do some good, you never know.
