Anxiety and depression related to jobs

[RaqXo]

Does anyone get anxiety or depression because of jobs/future or feeling like you’re stuck?

Do you feel like you are stuck?

[RaqXo in reply to Hidden]

Yeah like I had a lot of hopes and dreams and i feel like I’m falling short even though in reality I still have so much potential, but that’s where my anxiety likes to creep in lol

[Diana_s in reply to RaqXo]

Yeah, I feel you

I do not feel stuck, but I do know that my job does affect my anxiety and depression. Since I know this I monitor my mental health status and I try to adjust accordingly. So, it is from my job, not about my job.

yes I'm scared of the future I'm only 24 but I worry about the future although we shouldn't.

[Hidden in reply to kaydeLOD]

Thinking about the future can be a very anxious thing to do..

[kaydeLOD in reply to Hidden]

yes I been working on it my therapist always tells me not to worry about tomorrow.

[RaqXo in reply to kaydeLOD]

Yes kayde Im only 24 and I know that’s true. We should worry about today but it’s really hard for me because I’m a planner lol

[RaqXo]

I know other people have anxiety about health and relationships but mine fall in career/ future etc and I wanted to see if it was the same for others

[Hidden in reply to RaqXo]

I think a lot of people have it about careers and the future.. what is worrying you about yours?

[RaqXo in reply to Hidden]

Well I chose a career but I ended up not liking it and now I’m lost...thinking what do I do now. And my depression and anxiety come up and it’s super negative irrational thoughts saying I’ll never have good things in my life. So it’s just frustrating because I’m very smart and determined but my depression makes me feel otherwise

[Hidden in reply to RaqXo]

I did same thing when I was young, I chose the wrong thing to do. But when you are young you have tons of time to look into doing other things. Isnt their anything that you enjoy or have a interest in, can you stay in school?

You will have good things in life if you want them, the thoughts telling you otherwise are only thoughts, you don't have to listen to them.
