Hi

[Oms]

I'm new here, though I'd rather not reveal my name publicly. I've been dealing with depression for a while and I felt a lot better for a few months but I couldn't fight it off any longer and I'm back to spending the majority of my time away from any sort of social interaction. Thanks.

Hi, Oms, and welcome! Are you having depression and anxiety? Why are you shying away from social interactions?

Hi,
I live with depression and anxiety, I've recently changed my job and this has made my anxiety a million times worse, I was so ill yesterday my GP have me sedatives, it's it normal to feel like this when you change jobs? I really thought I had got my problems to a level I could manage. Any advice? Thanks x

Hey, beanbaby, and welcome! Changing jobs can be a very anxiety-provoking experience, so I don't think that's unusual. Good for you for talking to your doctor and being open to the use of medications or a short time to help manage those emotions. Give it some time. Are you seeing a therapist?

I feel I need all the help I can get, the sedatives take away the irrational thoughts and calm me enough to see that my new job will be ok once I settle in but I can't take them all the time, I was in my old job 11 yrs and this new job is so different. Can anyone give me some positive messages to boost my confidence that this period of uncertainty retail pass and it normal to dislike a new job at first. Thankyou for reading this x

After being in a job for 11 years, I'm sure it is hard to adjust to a new one. Give this new job time. Once you get into a routine and everything isn't so new, I'm sure it won't be so bad.
