Your dignity, self esteem and mental health are all way more important than a job.  Everyone needs a job where they are appreciated and respected. \n\nGood luck

Go volunteer at the Red Cross or local shelter. If you love animals get involved in rescue work. You will find that you are taken out of your depression a lot because you are helping others and thinking of them. They will be so grateful to you.\nThe people who you work with will invite you to share in their hobbies. Take them up on it, go all the time, you will find a whole new world.\nAnd don't say you're not good at anything. That is a lie straight from the devil. God made you. He made you perfectly and loves you perfectly. It is through us not being that great ourselves that the talents that God gave us begin to shine.\nGirl, let your light shine!

Try to change things a little at a time - just baby steps. Look for a new role within your work place or maybe a new job. Try to go out once a week, take up an exercise class with friends or go by yourself and try to meet new people.  Look for spirituality, or find something that keeps your soul alive.\nTake up a class or a hobby, find something different or new to do every day. Invite a friend over for dinner, got out for dinner and invite a friend or two.\nTry cognitive behavioural therapy (it can really really help) and look at changing your anti-depressants.\nBest of luck and I hope all goes well in the future...

last year my husband was dignosed with depression (after counless years of suffering from it),so he decided to quit his job to see if it would make him any happier, but in the end being stuck in the house all the time gave him time to dwell on all the negatives which made him worse, and he tried to kill him self twice, but now he is back at work and although he always complains about his job atleast he has something to get up for in the morning, and I think he maybe starting to turn a corner concerning the depressing. Maybe you could try going to college or a new job and working towards the career you've always wanted, but really think hard about giving up work altogether.

1. Have a positive attitude, no matter what, everyone goes thru hard times.  What defines us is how we handle those trying time. \n True character is built on hard times.  \n\n2. Exercise.  It clears the mind and promotes good health.  Something as simple as a daily walk does wonders for your mental health.\n\n3. Adopt a pet.  I know it isn't always possible but it you can, do it. Studies show that owning a pet reducing a lot stress!  Pets will always be there for you and love you unconditionally!\n\n4. Have a support of people around you.  Isolation can lead to depression, a major mental illness in this country.  Not everyone has family around for that.  Go out and make friends with similar interests as yourself!\n\n5. For me the most important is having faith.  Something to believe in, a higher being.  Seeking him during difficult times gives you hope for a better tomorrow.    Hope this helps.

First thing first. Consult the doctor. If its psychosomatic, conscious relaxation will help. Keeping one self bussy and cheerful is better start to work towards mental health.

I'm currently dealing with the same things.  It got so bad for me that I had to take time off from work.  What I find helps is to see my dr on a regular basis, and I go see a psycologist also, just to talk and help to get things out and deal with them.  I started keeping a journal again.  Just write, don't think about what you are writing, just write. Its amazing what actually comes out when you don't think about the words.  \nTry taking a nice warm bath, play some relaxing music, light a candle, and just relax.  Slow deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth.  I mix in some lavendar oil with my bath, its very relaxing.  \nTry taking a walk, not a quick run/walk, just a stroll.  Try to enjoy the beauty thats around you, because no matter where you are theres something beautiful.  That helps me to think positive, since in depression  you dont want to be a positive person.  \nTake any medications the dr gives to you.  In time, the majority of them will help.  Only you're doctor can determine which is right for you.  I am on several right now, and I am noticing a difference in myself. \nSurround yourself by friends and family, granted that they aren't the one causing you anxiety.  Talk, and listen to what they have to say.  Enjoy a cup of decaff herbal tea.  Limit your caffiene intake, since it can make your anxiety worse.  \nTry taking up a hobby or craft to keep your hands busy.  I have been doing plastic canvas work, and its helping me keep busy, and when I feel stressed or anxious, I work on my project until the feeling passes.  I have also been trying to read.  it helps me relax also. \nI hope this helped, its whats been getting me through the last few weeks.  Good luck to you!

I would take a hard look at all factors that keep you from holding a job.  Anxiety can be easily treated with medication and relaxation techniques, depending on how advanced the condition is.  Before you decide to take the "easy way out" and apply for ss disability, be aware this takes months.  They are looking for proof that other avenues have been tried and the anxiety you experience is a life-altering condition that may be terminal.  I know, because it has been over a year trying to get my husband disability for his bipolar--part of which is the manic state (anxiety at its best).  There are a lot of factors to consider.  And other jobs to explore.

Alot of people discriminate against those suffering from mental illnesses of all kinds ,not just bosses.\n You may just be seeing that they navigate towards more open "normal" people because you don't feel open yourself... I know that no one wants to be around someone who is depressed, it affects many people in many different ways. It's unfortunate, but a fact of life. I myself have suffered depression, and been labeled a "b i t c h " or other unkind things just because I could not paint a smile on 24/7\n What can you do to impress them. Well stop trying to impress them and impress yourself. Make yourself feel, and it is not always easy, and it will show. Don't keep kicking yourself that is not going to work, go get some counseling, get some medication if that is warranted, get the help you need and want and live a full and HAPPY life. It is possible, maybe not every minute but it can happen, but it will take a lot of hard work. I am wishing you the very best.... take care, smile, think good thoughts about yourself and things will fall into place

Your anxiety is a normal response to an overstimulated nervous system which may be due to the stress of study, the fear of failure and of the future.Constant anxiety and depression seem to go hand in hand unfortunatly,tho treatment via medication for anxiety by you Dr, can help to reduce much of your depression as well.Constant anxiety rips the life out of you.\n\nAn anti-depressant is often advised, as depression itself can cause anxiety.The intensity of trying to study and attend classes, lectures,research,exams, awaiting results as well as to try to have a social life is a hugh challenge to our resourses, mentally and physically.\n\nIn being involved with Depressed folk, and my Family having had depression and Panic Disorder, and I myself going thro Burnout, nervous breakdown,loss of loved ones,loss of loved work, and depression, it is well documented for most folk that we need to treat the depression and accompanying anxiety, not the 100's of symptems. Treat the symptems, try to solve the many problems, we just come up with more, and more.\nTreat the Depression and you relieve,or resolve the disparing feelings of defeat, exaustion, especially nervous exaustion.\n\nThe more you can understand depression, and that your nervous system keeps setting of dreaded symptoms of fear,the less you fear the fear itself.\n\nI have written before of a beaut book by Dr Claire Weeks called 'Self Help For Your Nerves'! It is a brilliantly written book, because she speaks to you about these very things, and you will find it difficult to put down. So please put it on your gift list, a gift for yourself.\n\nLearning relaxation,[even when you feel like you may crack if you relax], is truly a great help. Find a cd or tape thro your Mental Health Service, or Dr.It is difficult to learn at first, yet becomes easier. Sorry if I am long winded.\n\nMy thoughts are for you.

Anxiety can be cured with cognitive therapy for sure.  Anxiety and depression are often found together.  If they are coupled, anxiety is often the primary disorder with depression being a result of it.  Clinical depression can be cured with cognitive therapy as well; the reason drugs are used more is because cognitive therapy is sometimes grueling hard work that some doctors and patients don't want to deal with.  Be very critical of anti-depressants because they can cause suicidal thoughts.

Genetics, stress and other occurances cause depressions. Most people, male and female, have the same effects.\nCheck out http://www.nmha.org/\nThey have facts and info and all mental health issues and can be the best resource possible.\nIf you work your job should have an EAP program which will give you a couple of free sessions and refer you out to a counselor or therapist.\nIf you are a student the school counselor or student services will direct you as well.\nThis website may be helpful too.  http://depressionhurts.com/index.jsp\n\nIf you do being to go to a therapist and they give you meds make sure you get medication management at least every six months.\nDon't take meds unless you are getting counseling as well. They can't help you unless you help yourself.\nGood luck to you.

Exercise is one of the best solutions to depression.  Don't buy a treadmill, go jog outside.  Exercising outdoors is a lot better than indoors.
