ANXIETY and Depression?
Every morning i wake up anxious and somewhat depressed, I dont want to go to work - due to many many changes in my feild. I have no motivation and it seems to be worse in the morning right after I wake up. I always have bad dreams, mostly about work... I have been getting injuries left and right lately as well, my job requires my body to be PHYSICAL. I just dont know if I should find a new job, or is it other issues that cause my anxiety. I hate feeling like this.. My wife is A HUGE support, and I love her and my baby girl, thats all I look forward to everyday. I wish I could just stay home everyday
Answer:
I HAVE anxiety and depression
i was diagnosed Meany years ago!
From what you say you are dapperest and have anxiety
but you need to find a doctor the soonest possible so you can get treatment with medications.
if you lived untreated you will get worst and you don't want that.
PLUS if you don't treat it, your family will safer from that<your moodswing's>!
Rob,
Maybe it's a career change you need. It's great that you have a wonderful wife and child, everytime you feel down think of them. You just need to reshuffle your life a little..best of luck
sounds like it may be clinical depression
if i were you i'd go discuss it with your doctor
maybe you need counselling and/or antidepressants to lift you out of this phase
maybe also look at eating healthier and taking regular exercise - if you dont already - as this can make you feel better
I feel exactly like you at the moment. My doctor has prescribed me some very low dosage anti-depresants (only 10mg). Ive never had any before, and am hoping they will make me fee better. My job is also the problem, however, remember, no-one, unles they are really lucky, likes going to work, but its something we all have to do. Everyone would probably rather stay at home.OF COURSE WE WOULD!
The problem you have is that, a chemical in the brain called seratonin sometimes misbehaves and when our levels are low, we find it really difficult to handle everyday situations like work. The tablets I am on increase seratonin levels, so enable you to carry on as normal.
You should try speaking to your doctor. If you still feel no better, then you should re-evaluate what you want to do with your life, and if you are in the right field of work for you.??
Good Luck, and remember, there are people a lot worse of than you.
Maybe you should start your own business. Do you have any ideas? bless your wife, youre lucky she supports you the way she does, dont ever take it for granted. I would try to apply for other jobs, dont quit your job until you find something better. Always strife for the better life, not for you, but for your baby and wife. Also, enjoy what you have. Find pleasure in simple things. Yes, its nice to have more in life, but how we feel attracts what we get. If youre depressed and negative, youll attract those things. Its always the state of mind. Change your state of mind, youll see things changing for the better.Good luck.

If finding another job helps resolve this problem do that. You r lovable because u love your family-your wife and our little daughter. And it seems they both love u a lot. Any man who has the support of wife and kids can overcome any weakness any dificulty in life I am sure. You too will. Just keep working on it. Maintian a diary and note down the things bothering you. Anylyse them and find the solution. wish you and your family lots of happines...You r the good son of god!
PS: Please avoid anti depressants and medicines as much as you can. You dont need them cz in this difficult period not only your wife but your kid is also with u as a support.
You do not necessarily need medication and it is not guaranteed to only get worse from here if you do not go on medication or see a doctor right away. Now those options are open to you if you research it and feel that it may help you and you go to a good doctor. But even if you are on medication, you will have to take steps to manage the day to day stress and your life as a whole. I speak from experience. I have had life-long severe depression, anxiety (had it in the morning too), and way too many things to list here. Imagine as dark of a time as you possibly can imagine and then triple it. My mind and body were literally trying to shut down from feeling overwhelmed. You can absolutely get through this and it does not necessarily have to be through medication. One big thing is it seems that your job is a major cause of stress for you. You will have to take time to yourself and then sit down with your wife to see what will be the best option for you. Can you change your situation at work in any way? How do you really feel about finding a new job? Do you want to or do you think that you would really like to stick with this one if you could one day be happy with it? Would you be willing to move or not? What would be your dream job? What makes you happy? What would you love to wake up to in the morning knowing what you are going to work to do? Are there jobs available near you or somewhere you are willing to go with those jobs? How does your wife feel about changing jobs and possibly moving the family? If you do not want to move, what jobs are available to you near where you are?
What is it that really stresses you out about your work? Pay attention to what you tell yourself throughout the day. Are you pessimistic? Do you tell yourself that it will just be another horrible day? Or anything negative at all? What causes the lack of motivation? Were you fine with it before but are not now? Do you feel challenged or no? Do you feel trapped? Do you feel like you are meant to do something else with your life?
It seems like everything revolves around the stress that is caused by work, for whatever reason that may be. Take the time to talk it out, write it down, do whatever you have to to get it out of your head. Writing it down can help. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, or even complete thoughts. Just start with how you feel about work. What is your job? How do you feel about the people you work with? What one word would describe how you feel about your work? Start with one point and just let the thoughts come out. It can take some getting use to but don't give up. The thoughts are in there and they want to come out, you just have to learn how to listen to them. You can be writing about one topic and out of the blue something pops in your head and it is almost a literal light bulb above your head goes off.
Is there anything that happened in your life around the time that your anxiety and depression started? Is there anything that happened before that you were not dealing with? Think it through on your own at first. Give yourself the chance to try to figure out what is inside your head and then you can sit down with your wife and talk it through with her and she can help you even more. And just continue with that and trying to start new habits with how you conduct yourself during the day. Tell yourself that this is only temporary. You WILL get out of this and you and your family will be fine because you won't accept anything less. You are not doing anything wrong. You are not less of a man for being stressed out. You are not weak or worthless in anyway. You are not failing your family in any way. Look at your daughter's face and show her how you would want her to approach it if she was the one going through it. Be strong. Don't give up. Know in your heart that you can get through it and remain open with your family. Never take it for granted that they know how much you love them. Focus on the energy of that love and let that be your strength to perservere. You can do this, and it does take time, but it eventually will feel like a long distant memory and a whole lifetime ago. Very shortly you will look back and be amazed at the progress that you have made. Take the time to know what it is that you are really feeling and what the real causes are. Once you know what is really bothering you, you can attack it head on. I wish you nothing but the best and I life full of love and happiness for you and your family! ^_^
