Depression support please.

[Dolphin80]

Anyone here this morning? Feeling bad but put on makeup and going to work. Have to go to meetings too but how do I do it while feeling bad? Please send support. Suffering with severe depression/anxiety.

Well done you give yourself lots of credit for getting things done ...just keep saying to yourself...I am gonna do this

[Hidden]

I would give my self a little extra time to get there, so I don't have the added stress of worrying about running late (trains, traffic etc.) Also, if time allows, pick up my favorite drink from a friendly coffeehouse.

These are just little things but they always cheer me a little before work.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Also, is there something nice you can look forward to doing after work? Just think, I can do (x) after I get through this....

You’re pushing through! Did you show up?! If so GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT! We’re here for you! Make sure you’re taking time for YOURSELF! ❤️

[Hidden]

Dolphin just saw this. I’m here. You aren’t alone. This is just a feeling and isn’t reality. It will pass 💛

I'm hoping by now some of your meetings are over? How did it go?

[Dolphin80 in reply to Dolphin14]

So I didn’t get a promotion I thought I would get. Found out today.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Dolphin80]

I'm sorry that didn't happen for you.

How are you feeling?

[Dolphin80 in reply to Dolphin14]

Still not feeling great.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Dolphin80]

Are you home now? Can you get some rest?

[Dolphin14 in reply to Dolphin14]

Just read you are on your way home. Try and relax through the ride. Do you have music or anything to do during the commute?

[Dolphin80 in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes going to relax. But I have a daughter. Have to take care of her. 18 months old. Am I a bad mom because I suffer with depression?

[Dolphin14 in reply to Dolphin80]

No you are not a bad mom. A lot of people can be good parents and have depression. What makes you think you are a bad mom?

[Dolphin80 in reply to Dolphin14]

Just the depression. I have a headache. Be back later. Please continue to send support my way. Thank u so much.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Dolphin80]

You will be ok. Check back in if you need to talk
