Depressed again =(

[Claire W]

Here I am again, waiting to go to work and also dreading it. To make things worse, my best friend has just been up for the weekend. I have just dropped her off at Manchester train station for her to go back home. I'm missing her already and am missing home a lot too. I am just feeling that my life is passing me by and feel like i'm living the same day over and over again I just feel like hiding under the covers and :'( Sorry for ranting on again :embarassed:

Oh Claire, sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather. I don't really know what to suggest though - can you kind of reward yourself with little things for taking it a step at a time e.g getting stuff ready for work, trip to work, first hour... break it down into small bitesize chunks? Sometimes that's how I get through the day - one step at a time! It's horrible if you hate your job though, really feels like time is treacle!

Thanks Sophie, I must try something. Just realised that i've posted this in the wrong section so i've put it in chit chat as well

Small steps, one at a time, and lots of patting yourself on the back when you do something!

Someone told me a week ago, and I've tried it since and agree, that every day you should do the thing you're dreading most or have put off for longest, first - and get it over with. I've been doing it and it does help!

Hope you can pull yourself back into a happier place!

Sending hugs

have you thought to make friends with some people at work? or with your neighbours, perhaps phone home and talk to family, perhaps get a room mate or a dog to keep you company. when you go to work and get your pay go out and buy yourself something as a reward. O0 O0 O0 whilst working perhaps apply for other jobs you do like or perhaps do study via correspondence or after work. i know how you feel as i have had depression as my friend for as far back as i can remember, panic atttacks and fear of people for 15 years. you can get medication, councelling but the hardest lesson to learn the only one that can help you is you. it took me years to work that out. am sending you hugs and good vibes. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: hang in there things will get better for you. :smitten: give your piggy/pet a cuddle. :smitten:
