Have you experienced depression caused by working in really challenging workplace environments? I am worried this will carry into new roles.

After working a couple jobs that weren’t a good fit I’ve exhibited a lot of procrastination, hopelessness, self isolation, and just lack of care. I’m in therapy but also want to make sure I come into any new role with this in mind so I can do my best.

I have absolutely experienced depression at challenging workplaces (and been penalized for trying to find help and a working situation that would alleviate my mental health struggles), but luckily, it doesn’t necessarily carry over to normal, functioning workplaces.

It’s amazing that you’re going to therapy to resolve these concerns. I encourage also taking a week or two off between roles whenever possible; it’s a great way to mentally, physically and creatively refresh yourself before going into something new.

You’ve got this. 💕

I have gone through waves of this in my career. Changing jobs isn’t always a silver bullet but it has helped. However if I didn’t also do the work (ie therapy) I found it often quickly returned. I also made some bad choices just to get out of jobs I was blaming for my moods and ended up in very similar places. Take the time to work through why you are having those feelings and what type of change (if any) will solve them. Like relationships some of us tend to run right towards the same problems without realizing it.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
