Today is my first entry. I have had depression on and off since I was young. I think it stems from comparing myself to others... and not seeing myself in a positive light.
Recently, I decided to leave my job and move to a coastal town.. without forward planning it... once I got there I started to spiral into a depression.
I have my old job back, havent started yet.. will be back at work next week.. Meanwhile I have been sleeping alot and finding it hard to do anything at all.
It has been a huge challenge.
I was laying in bed today.. thinking I feel terrible.. I may as well get up and feel terrible, instead of laying in bed..
I have much to learn and remember from past experiences.

Seems like you have had a lot of changes in your life. Not sure if you are happy to be back at the old job or not... I suppose it is safe... you know it well...

Depression can be tricky... it is not just the comparison as you know... it is more than that...

I hope things get better for you soon...

Welcome to depent and I hope it helps you. Make sure you do the recovery program under my depression. Help monitor your mood/health.

Sorry the move didn't work out and you have been able to get your old job back. Good luck with it when you go back to work.

Go Blue!!!
