Hi,
I'm sorry you are having problems with jobs... it's a small setback, try not to be too hard on yourself. You've been doing really well, you have conquered many things so give yourself some credit!! Life will throw things at you and it's going to be hard and it's soooo much harder when you suffer from depression and anxiety but try to remember all the positive things you have achieved despite it all... and go and see your doctor to talk about your meds... be pro active and take the lead. Get help and talk to people about how you feel... I hope you feel better soon! Good luck and keep going

Hiya.
Do you know the cause of your anxiety and depression? Knowing the cause enables you to deal with the result more wisely :)

Hi,

I suffer with PTSD, and the only place I go to is work and home. My confidence just goes to pieces when asked to go anywhere else. My work is very demanding of my time, and I find that when I 'do too much' then I start to slide back down the depression route and back to the docs I go...... I have even had panic attacks whilst waiting in the waiting room to see the doc (what with all the kids running about and screaming).

Try to write down your triggers, go and see your doc and try to amend any 'patterns'. Hope you are feeling better soon
