It's super, super rough. But hang in there, you're not alone. I don't know your situation, obviously, but I would very highly recommend seeking help with a therapist, though. These things can get overwhelming and out of hand in a hurry. It did for me this summer, and before I knew it I lost my job cause I just wasn't even showing up to work. And it didn't even feel like a big deal. Depressed can really mess with your perception.
Passionate about building great technology and connecting with people to create positive change. Happy to answer questions about transitioning to tech. Find me on Twitter @lounecl
Definitely scheduling some time with my therapist asap. I'm sorry to hear that your depression got so bad. Have you found something yet? If not I'm happy to give you a Microsoft referral.
It's been rough for me too, but I'm hoping it doesn't get to that point. My coping mechanism was to fully immerse myself into my job. That unfortunately has lead to more exhaustion. Now I'm forcing myself to find new hobbies and as Brad mentioned above, I need to go outside more. Being cooped up and stressed is not the way I want to live my life :)
Hey, I'm sorry, I haven't checked this site in a couple months. Thank you so much for the offer, it makes me feel warm inside to know that folks are watching out for each other. I started a new job in December, just like a week before I posted that comment, I'm definitely starting to come out of the fog.
