Work sucks

[Sharing2024]

Dealing with depression is tough. It is even more challenging because I have a job that feels like it sucks the life out of my soul. It’s not that easy to find another job that would pay me what I need. I am in a very down place lately. I recently learned about the term depression episode. I think I am dealing with that. Normally, all is well and controlled, but not lately. I didn’t go to work yesterday. I just stayed in bed. Any tips on dealing with an episode while working at a full time job you hate? Other than get a new job? Ultimately, that is what I need to do. But it will take some time and planning.

I know I should get some sort of activity in but I just don’t want to do much of anything. I do know it would help though. I turn 50 this month. 😬

Sorry I noticed your a guy you won't want HRT not menapause then lol 😁 although guys do get a change of hormones diet is important noticed your diabetic, this may be contributed to how you feel it's important as you know to keep blood sugar right, I know I get bit out of sorts when mines not well I'm sure your managing that side of things been on that site, it's hard I know making effort to exercise but the seretonin release is so good and needed I don't take meds just HRT lol I sometimes opt for a brisk walk or exercise to music, feel better once out of bed staying in bed is the worst thing ☹️I'm.afraid I'd love to hybernate winter tho

I’m a female. I am a caretaker for my mom so I try to get as much info on her conditions as I can.

I know the feeling! I had a job that I hated, too stressful took every bit off of my blood out of me so I took the plunge and left! Am I happy? Yes! Is it easy to get another job? Hell no! Butttt I’m still happy I walked and am looking forward to a new career with people who hopefully respect me and treat me like a human as opposed to a something someone just walked on! If getting out your job means it will pick you up and get you up and out of bed then go for it , you have to decide what’s more important. For me it was definitely my health, I was on the verge of a breakdown. I wish you all the best. good luck 🤞
