Well I might have something. Might have an interview doing something I’d like on a better pattern. It would mean less money for a while but it’s with a company I’d say with.
Only problem is current job is getting me so down I’m struggling to be arsed to prepare for anything.
Taking days off to try and get something prepared.
Regardless of how it goes I’d like to put my notice in at my current job, I’ve got saving and I don’t want much so I’d be ok for a bit.
Just do I be honest and quit now or drag it out until the next one starts?
I did something similar recently, and despite my old employers making it difficult to leave, it was definitely the right move and my mental health has improved signficantly.Only problem is current job is getting me so down I’m struggling to be arsed to prepare for anything.

How are we doing?
Personally ive not had much luck, the councillor from work didnt call me back so thats just confirmed that i am truely unimportant to anyone!
So ive just got to sit in this waiting room of life waiting for death to come along as im pretty sure ive already done everything i want to do,maybe ill get lucky and have a painfree passing when im asleep one night but until then i guess i just have to carry on with the pointlessness of living until its my time to go.
Hows everyone else coping?

Completely feel your pain. Suffered from depression and anxiety for over 20 years. It comes in waves of absolutely pointless to average at best. As above the sun defintiely helps - I hate winters. Also got divorced recently which tore my world apart and have been dating on and off - sometimes I'm up for it and sometimes I can't be bothered at all.Personally ive not had much luck, the councillor from work didnt call me back so thats just confirmed that i am truely unimportant to anyone!

Getting to grips with the fact I'll be working for the next 30 years and have found recently some solace in accepting that my baseline level of "happiness" is just lower than a lot of others and my main aim in life is to stave off misery rather than shoot for happiness. Seems to be helping a bit.
Fortunately I've worked for myself for many years and can take time when I want although clients are always on my case if I'm not in for a day. However, i';ve got to the stage where I pat myself on the back if I get out of bed and do some work when I'm feeling particularly bad, and if it's really bad i just waste the day away at home chilling.
It's hard trying to make a relationship work but I have someone at the moment who is very understanding and we're taking things very slowly.
I've stopped trying to save so hard for early retirement and instead treat myself on the car hobby front more often and accept that I'd probably rather work forever as I'd be bored and have nothing to get me ou of bed if I ever did retire.
Not sure if that helps at all.

On day three of Sertraline after admitting, finally, i have depression and a mental health problem.
Hows it going?Support - Missus is dubious and away at the moment. None of my friends know nor does work. At some point i will need their help and support.
Tablet's wise - I've been really worried about the side affects and the "get worse before you get better". I felt incredible this morning up until about 2pm. I assume this is a placebo affect. But, I'm also starting to struggle to sleep a little. But, I'm also yawning a lot. Appetite has increased massively. Headaches are kicking in in the afternoon. I'm struggling for words on things and forgetting things seconds later.. I'm blowing positive for covid at the moment - so hoping it's that. I'm hydrating, eating clean, and forcing myself to exercise and get into bed early even to watch a movie (in a min).
Day four of sertraline. I. Feel. Incredible.
Went and got coffee and a blueberry muffin (for later), not done that in years, and even contemplated breakfast out. Planning that for tomorrow.
Caught myself singing a long to Kanye west. I hate Kanye west. Sat on the driveway typing this just enjoying the sunshine and rain on the windscreen, driveway and trees.
Just under seven hours sleep, I watched some of “seven” in bed last night and enjoyed it. Not done that in years.
Headaches are hurting so will need to manage with paracetamol.
Thinking is clearer and more focused, I’m not questioning myself. Still a bit foggy with memory, but that seems to be clearing up.
100% more happy.
I really hope this lasts. f
k depression. I’m really not ready for any crushing side effects or slippage on this feeling. I hope this is what things should feel like.

Good luck mate... When I'm going through a tough patch I just tell myself that it'll pass whether it's a day or a week and to keep going. Went and got coffee and a blueberry muffin (for later), not done that in years, and even contemplated breakfast out. Planning that for tomorrow.

I have also started walking a lot more... Between 2 and 4 times a week doing 5km. Helping a fair bit I reckon.
