Depression

Post Reply New Topic

I think I am suffering from clinical depression, I got a new job, and I'm taking a few days off and I have not left my room in three days, except to use the restroom.

I also just started a new job and it's shooting my depression through the roof. Unlike you, I'm unable to get any days off. If I tried that they'd think I was not a good fit and would use that as an excuse to fire me. I don't care for the job at all but it keeps me from being homeless.

If it's any consolation, know that there are people who sympathize with you because they're in the same boat as you.

I've had countless bouts of depression, and it was this that started me toward thinking of Asperger's being an issue.
It never made sense to me that I just had depression and anxiety, and when I found that both were common to those on the ASD spectrum, it got me to the point where I am now, seeking formal diagnosis.

Regardless of the cause or other factors, it's always a good idea to take depression seriously, and get along to a doctor or psychologist to help you deal with it.
Ignoring it won't make it go away, and you could lose more than just your job if you wait to see what happens.

You will need to find the technique that works for you in dealing with this, but you're not alone, and there is help available.

I had bouts of depression, but I don’t know how.
