Working/depression

I'm new to the Group. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for the last 5 years. Currently on medication and was seeing social worker for 2 years. I'm finding that any level of stress at work causes me to fall into a depressive state and elevated anxiety. I tried meditating. Any other suggestions?

Welcome to the group. Does your employer have an EAP Program (Employee Assistance Program)? If so, utilize it as it's free. Are you seeing a therapist now? You should and this can buy you time as yo may want to look for work someplace where the stress level is lower. Short term medical leave can help you too.

Not what you're looking for?
