Rough Day
The story
Today I had a total meltdown at work and I asked to leave. I went home and now I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to keep living. How do people work normally all the time? I get so stressed and overwhelmed and breakdown. I have bad anxiety and depression so I don’t think that helps me at all. I just can’t do this anymore

I completely understand that work can be overwhelming when you're dealing with anxiety and depression. However, it's important to realize that everyone experiences stress in their careers; it's a challenge many navigate daily. It may be beneficial to work on building coping mechanisms and resilience skills. Have you considered consulting a mental health professional? They often provide invaluable strategies for managing workplace stress. Personally, when I faced similar challenges, mindfulness techniques were remarkably helpful. Have you explored any mindfulness practices or stress management workshops? Finding what works for you is key to maintaining a balanced professional life!
hey, i totally get it, work sucks sometimes, but everyone’s gotta deal with it, right? 🤔 you think it might help to talk to someone about the anxiety and depression? "can't do this anymore" sounds pretty intense. when i was stressed, i found hitting the gym or hanging with friends helped a lot. ever tried something like that? the meltdown thing happens, but ya know, bouncing back is key. why let it ruin the rest of your day?
sounds tough, but work is like that for a lot of people. many deal with stress every day. maybe anxiety and depression are making it harder, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. figure out ways to handle it better. some find it helpful to talk to someone or look for new ways to chill out. freaking out at work isn’t the best approach. try keeping your cool and see if things improve. check what others are doing to handle stress. might help ya out too.
sounds rough, but honestly, work stress hits everyone;; maybe it’s worse with anxiety and depression, but there are ways to manage it. lots of people, including myself, have found better ways to deal with stress; how about exploring some relaxation techniques or maybe talking it out with someone? when i was in a similar spot, trying new stuff helped me out; just saying, maybe it's worth a shot?! can't let a meltdown take over every time, right?!!
hey, i feel where you're coming from, but you know, stress at work, it’s something everyone faces at some point. it’s like part of the whole work-life experience, and dealing with anxiety and depression adds more layers to it, but it doesn’t make it unbeatable. have you tried engaging in activities that promote mental wellness and resilience? i found journaling really helpful for processing my emotions and setting a clear path ahead; maybe give it a try? a little bit of self-care and figuring out what works for you might make a huge difference 🙂. just keep at it; things can get better with time and effort!
hey, i totally get it, work stress can feel all-consuming sometimes, especially with anxiety and depression. but you know what, everyone grapples with stress in their own way; it doesn’t have to be a complete roadblock. maybe exploring some cognitive-behavioral techniques could help you build resilience; people often find empowerment in understanding their triggers and responses. when i was going through something similar, i turned to yoga and meditation—it was kind of a game-changer for me! have you thought about trying any stress-relief activities like that? remember, it's about taking small steps forward and finding what works best for you!! your journey is unique, and things do improve with time!!!
