I'm sorry, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. This is a good place to share your feelings and feel supported. Finding work when you're depressed is like trying to push a boulder uphill. Maybe your first step is to take care of yourself. Can you talk to a therapist? The Serenity Prayer has helped millions, one day at a time. 🥰

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately being unemployed also means being uninsured. I have however booked some time with a therapist online. I’m hoping to get some insight as to why I don’t feel like me anymore. It’s the best I can do at this time

Hello and Welcome. Talking with people who truly understand has made such a huge difference for me. I hope you find it as helpful. I am glad you have joined us. I have made progress very gradually, one step at a time.

Hi there and welcome to the group. You will find a lot of friendly people here who can identify with what you're going through and that will give you lots of good advice about what they themselves have tried in order to contain or deal with their anxiety and depression. A lot of times people have such good ideas on what works best for them to help them cope or ways that they try to enrich their lives while they struggle with their anxiety and depression which is nice to know because it in turn will help you too. It's nice knowing that we're not alone and that somebody else gets it totally and can relate to what we are feeling ourselves. I've just joined in February and have met such caring people on this form and the other form for major depression disorder which I am also a member of as I struggle with that mostly along with PTSD and adjustment disorder too. A lot of times people talk about what medications work for them which ones don't what side effects they are feeling if any and about how they are feeling in general at that moment in time. You're in the right place you found your people and your tribe and we're happy that you're here. Wishing you peace and well-being.

thank you so much for your response. It is reassuring to know that I’m not alone in this.
