I won't get into it because I simply don't want to but I had an incident happen at work and now i'm having a really hard time forgiving myself. Now, I've suffered from depression on and off for many years. I've seriously contemplated suicide and the ONLY reason i'm not dead is because of my family. I've seen a therapist every 2 weeks now for 2-3 years and he has really helped. This past August and on has been amazing until last Wednesday which is when the accident happened. Now i'm really scared everything is coming back. How do I forgive myself and move forward?

Not sure what happened but know that you have support and understanding here. I've been struggling with work for awhile now, just getting myself there is a struggle. A lot of the time I have to just tell myself to just get through the next hour or sometimes just the next fifteen minutes and do on, it's been helpful to me when I'm having a hard time getting through the day. I've missed so much work I've been behind on my job for a long time and I feel much guilt and anxiety over that. I've been doing better here lately though and am finally catching things up and feeling better about that. I hope things get better for you very soon. Hugs

My last bout of depression was festering from a personal circumstance but blew up over an incident at work and that is what led to my hospitalization.

This time around the primary cause is around a coworker. He's a sweet guy, a friend, and he can't know (no one can know*) that he is at the center of my current depression. But it is affecting my relationship with all of my coworkers, my ability to be a team player, and my ability to do my job.

Rino have you seen your therapist since this incident happened? Seems not... Hope your T is able to help you find answers and get you back on the track of feeling better.

*No one at work can know... I have or course been honest with my therapist about this.

Hopeless2015 - I am truly very sorry to hear about your struggle. You say you've missed so much work. How are you employed then? You don't need to answer that question if you don't want to. I'm just curious.

Dexter - Just like Hopeless2015, i'm very sorry to hear about your most recent episode of depression. Actually, my incident happened on a Wednesday and I just so happened to have an appt with my therapist the next day. He agreed with me that it seems like my boss and co-worker are overreacting. We are both kind of in the same line of work and he shared some stories of incidents that happened to him when he was my age.

Hi Rino I have FMLA that covers my Depression, I used all of my hours last year and I'm going to try not to use up all my hours this year. Off to a rocky start with that but am actually on an upswing right now that I'm hoping will last

If you have a journal read the progress you made. Remind yourself you are here due to your family that you love and care for and anyone else in your life, including pets. And they all need you, and forgive yourself for they need you as much as you need them. Blessings... tc
