    Job and depression?
    Basically I moved back home with my parents recently. And so I transferred my position at work to another center in my parents home town (I moved away for almost a year) and so I came back thought everything was different. Its NOT. My job makes me cry everyday because of something else they are doing. At my job if you do well in selling things 4 days in a row you get like the gold star but when you don't get anything for one day and it doesn't really happen a lot.. you get treated like you are the worst employee ever! Like they put you down SO mUCH! And since I had depression before and recently went off the pills.. I thought I was okay.. but this location is way worse in the work environment. I cry all the time. Because I'm SO stressed out. Should I go back on the pills? I dread coming here everyday. I call in sick when I'm not. I make excuses a lot.. my stats and metrics have dropped here. And I'm so angry here a lot!! I can't leave because I have benefits through here. Although they are expensive. I need some help please!!

    Go back to your doctor and get a check up.

    Often people come off their meds because they feel fine,they feel fine BECAUSE their on their meds!

    Your job is stressful,you need to find a way to de stress ,walking or swimming or someway to relax.

    In the mean time,look for other work,stay where you are on your meds until you can find another job.

    How about going back to school,college?

    Make an appointment to see your doctor,that's your first step.

    Good that your trying to find other work and its excellent you have made a start.

    Get the meds sorted and you will feel better able to cope.

    Its OK to cry,your stressed out,go for a walk today,when you get home write down your plan.

    Ask can you swap a Monday with someone else if it means you can attend the cosmo school.

    It's not going to get any better until you see a doctor. I hope you do.
