Hey Folks
Well my depression has returned with a vengeance. I have been struggling my whole life, but am finding now to be a very difficult time.
My relationship is broken because of lies my partner has told. Though It seems he hasn't actually slept with another woman, I have caught him a number of times exchanging inappropriate messages. Feels like Social Media is the ruin of monogamy.
Then at work I was offered a promotion, then had it taken away because someone more qualified applied for MY OLD JOB, but got my new job... what the hell is that! Now I realize it's probably for the best... my issues have flooded into work. I can't leave my sadness at the door.
Yesterday was the icing... I couldn't stop crying at work. Sat here at my desk for hours crying. Finally I went to my management because I just couldn't do it any more. I am on meds... and we've been increasing them and changing the time I take them. Everything feels out of control. I left early and just lay in bed for hours.
I'm exhausted and sad and I hope I can find the help I need.
