I get paid a lot for the stress i endure. An agency wouldnt come close and i have bills to pay... uhhhCould you register with an agency and work for them instead? Thats what I wished I'd done when I really hated my job.

Really? that's surprising as there's agencies for all professions and very high level jobs now. What about applying for anything that will cover the bills etc just to get out then?I get paid a lot for the stress i endure. An agency wouldnt come close and i have bills to pay... uhhh
Im applying for loads but so are many others it seems. Just gotta keep trying. Money is a huge trigger for me so i know cutting my cloth too much will probably be as bad if not worse than just staying for nowReally? that's surprising as there's agencies for all professions and very high level jobs now.

Yes! It’s worth it. Depression stinks and it’s so easy to say hang in there when you are feeling so low. But I tried to take my life last year. I was mad as hell when I didn’t succeed - but I’m here and things are better. Don’t give up, really hang in there, it will get betteri haven’t felt this low in a very long time. i have no idea what to do anymore if i’m honest. i’m so sick of pulling myself out of deep depression states just to fall back into them. is it even worth it anymore

Im exactly the same and i dont have a solution i am afraid. Work leaves me so exhausted mentally i struggle to do the most basic tasks. This morning my washing basket is full and i know im going to have to force myself to sort that out. The house is mess, dont get me started on my gardenDoes anyone suffer from "after work brain"? It's not that my work is excessively demanding nowadays. I'm not working long hours, I'm out of the office at 5pm. I usually have free time at work. It shouldn't have this effect on me. But all my mental and physical energy is spent on functioning in the office that by the time I leave, I am totally fried. I feel so weak and incompetent, not because I am doing a bad job at work but because I have no energy to do the things I enjoy after work. I come home and by the time I shower, eat, put away my stuff and do a couple of chores, it's almost 7. And then I spend the rest of my evening staring at a screen because I can't focus on my book, words won't come to me so I can't write, I can't do embroidery, can't exercise, I can't even hold a conversation with anyone over the phone or in person. And it's pushing me towards comfort eating, since I can't do anything that actually entertains me, the only mood boost I tend to get is from a mouthful of junk, which I don't even really enjoy. I don't want to be this way, it's almost too cliché but I can't find my way around it. I can force myself to not give into this once or twice but on the third day, even that effort is draining my batteries.
Anyone has found a solution to this? How do you find your way around a day job/family responsibilities/house work with bad mental health and still make sure your own time actually means something to you? Not in terms of productivity, but in terms of doing something that makes you happy?
We do! As idiotic as this sounds find some threads on Tattle and join in. Some threads feel like communities. Strange I know but I feel like I know some members. See you over on the What Have You Done Today and Quedtions and Answersthe thing is that i tried to take my own life a couple of years back and instead of looking back and being happy it didn’t work i’m still wishing it did. i bleeping hate depression.
i have absolutely no friends (when i say that i mean none) so it’s so easy for me to slip back into depression. i just feel so alone and as if no one would miss me if i was gone, because theres no one in my life that would even realise. how are you meant to be happy when you know not a single person in this world wants to be your friend
You are me, my oh stopped me twice, that was many years ago, the thought still lingers but meds have helped.the thing is that i tried to take my own life a couple of years back and instead of looking back and being happy it didn’t work i’m still wishing it did. i bleeping hate depression.

I really understand. I tell people i love the work i do, i hate the people.Work is really getting me down atm. Im really snappy, so so fatigued, and just cant concentrate on anything. I do a 9-5 but recently got a promotion but now my colleague is off on long term sick and im having to pick up the slack. Other people in the business are always so rude to me and shout at me, drag me down with words. I dont think people realise how hurtful words can be. I spend all week looking forward to the weekend.
