How do I get proper treatment without stigma?

Im at a point where anxiety and depression feed off each other. I cannot focus and my job requires a hi degree of concentration.....running out of excuses and i feel like im letting everyone down. Its exhausting and i feel like no one understands. How do I get through this?

I have the same issue... I recently started wellbutrin since I have heard that helps with focus... as far as the stigma, I just don't tell anyone because it is none of their business and I do what I know I need to do and what is best for me.

Your personal medical care plan is only your business. You could take to HR confidentially if you felt comfortable. There might be an employee plan that could help right away for stress mgmt or whichever reason you would like to give... stress mgmt is usually a counsellor of some sort... 1st step. Stress can look like anxiety/depression if u wish to keep back any info to HR... this also protects you re:labour rights in some countries.

It’s up to you how you approach getting help to manage the feeding frenzy you are experiencing. I understand the feeling well. It’s not fun.

I do not think there is a stigma anymore... for seeking out medical care for yourself. Brains are part of the body. It’s not taboo to take care of you. 😊
