Has anyone in PA with depression disclosed it? If it starts to affect your work, do you bring that up? Especially when it's busy season and taking a sick day or whatever is not really an option?

Leave PA.. people that struggle with depression need to do certain things every day to feel normal.. for me this is exercise , eating good foods, predictability. PA is a huge trigger with stress, avoidance and bitch ass people throwing you under the bus.

Hey there! So I actually dealt with my anxiety this past fall and that bled into busy season a bit. Here's the truth-- your mental health is the most important thing-- more important than your current job. Number one I would highly recommend setting an appointment with a therapist ASAP. It conflict with busy season hours? Tell your team you have a health issue and you have a doctors appointment and will make it up later in the day or something. Your team(s) are being difficult? You can find a new job. You probably only need 1.5-2 hours for your appointment. Seeing a therapist and dealing with my anxiety is the best thing I've ever done and cannot stress enough how much I want you to beat it ASAP.

It's up to you, but I didn't want my mental health issues to enter into my work life so I didn't tell any superiors of my issues. I just told them I had a standing Dr appointment every week Friday at 4. It wasn't serious but something that I really couldn't miss.

I've self medicated with a lot of marijuana in the evenings and Sundays. This might sound bad but it's actually been extremely helpful, I wake up so more rested and focused since I went down this path. My off the chart anxiety has even somewhat subsided while I do this. I've had colleagues compliment my calm demeanour. And when this shit season subsides I can very easily stop and feel no compulsion to continue using marijuana.
