Does it ever end? I’m not truly suicidal I’m just extremely depressed, but I do wonder if things would be better if I were dead. I just don’t see a point to living. I’m just empty and I hate the idea of having little-to-no joy or peace. I’m loosing the will to live. Anyone else here experiencing this? How did you handle it and how are you handling it?

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.
