And its official, diagnosed with depression and anxiety again. Had been doing good for four years. I guess its time to skip town again. How does everyone cope?

OP can I ask how you went thru the process of diagnosis? I suspect that at some level, I'm suffering as well.

Well I have a history, because of that I make it a point to touch point with a counselor about twice a year. Recently he signaled that I have been in decline for the first time in a long time, so he referred me to a psychologist and she wanted to make sure we put it on the record so we can work with it again.

Expect to get @ similar diagnosis today but: How is your depression/ anxiety linked to your location/ company? Why did it come up again after 4 years? What are the triggers?

Well, I have gone through this in the past before and is not so much that location and company are linked to my well being. But when I enter into a vicious cycle of feeding my own bad habits sometimes my current environment simply feeds into that.

Twice in the past I have managed to snap out of it simply by moving and starting fresh from zero.

I feel I took too long in the past for me to make the decision. Now I am thinking of making the move immediately.

Reduce expectations from yourself. You don't need to be great at everything. Think through the minimal and live by it from time to time; then accelerate for 3-5 months to stretch and achieve.
I have been getting mood swings, temper issues and general blues. The above strategy, though not as easy to implement, is starting to bring back some composure and meaning to my being. Good luck, OP! Just hang in there. Life has so much more than a career and money.
