Depression is a difficult enough thing to deal with even in the best of times. I also work in retail and as a department manager which as I’m sure you all know is an exceptionally difficult job right now. Ordinarily I can balance my job and my depression by writing or going and playing a game at the game shop. However my only interactions right now are all with people who are being crazy and taking everything off the shelves. On top of this my gf who has had to work from home the last couple of weeks has been going stir crazy from being cooped up inside and is now wanting to drive to her parents for a week or two. I’m torn as part of me wants her to go for her own mental health but also because she’s been driving me up the wall with her complaining about her bday plans being ruined. I understand she’s just frustrated but if she leaves then it’s just going to be me by myself with just the cat for company.
Today has me feeling particularly frustrated and irritable. I don’t have anybody to talk to and if I don’t get some kind of release i just know I’m going to do something stupid

I'm so sorry to see that. Thank you for being there for your customers during this extremely stressful time.
Though I know you'll miss your girlfriend if she leaves for a couple of weeks, maybe you could use that time to do some calming meditation or some other method of self-healing. Also, if she does decide to go, just think of yourself as the compassionate person who is sacrificially sharing his girlfriend's companionship to make someone else's life better.
Hi, I have to start working from home from Monday. At first I thought it would be ok but I know I have relied on my work friends for support and company to keep me as well as I can. I have 2 kids and they are now stuck at home for 4 months ! Trying not to think too far ahead , take care friend
