How do you define the differences between clinical depression and situational depression? I’ve been very down about ... well, everything, lately. Also have issues with anxiety (none diagnosed).

Cont’d: I just don’t know what the difference is between “true” depression and just hating my job/life right now

Can you still function and perform your regular day to day activities? Can you still get up in the morning and go about your day? If you can then the depression might just be work related and you might be burnt out

They say that true depression is marked by 3 serious episodes of depression lasting a month or longer. That’s how I was diagnosed with clinical depression. A few months ago my depression stemmed from work which flowed over into other parts of my life and made me overall unhappy and hard to be around.

Situational can lead to chronic. Find a mental health counselor who can help you sort things out. The deeper your depression, the more your performance will suffer - and you will start to hate yourself for screwing up. That can become self-reinforcing behavior, and you might not even realize that it is happening.

I only got tested when I traveled out of state for wedding and thought I was at a high(er) risk for exposure. Tested positive but I was already expecting that. (Contd)

My husband and I were set to start trying when I ovulate in a couple weeks. I didn’t get my period and a few days late (and I haven’t been late in months). I have PCOS so once I got my period back it has been consistent. So I took a test and is positive. I called my doctor, went in for a blood test and said was negative. I don’t understand what is going on. I don’t see how not pregnant, unless my pcos is flaring up again so either way just upset :/

Does anyone have advice for getting my dog anxiety medicine? We have tried lots of OTC stuff and many professional trainers and they all mention that we need to talk to our vet about anxiety medicine. however, our vet refuses to prescribe it without us going through a behaviorist. The problem is the only behaviorist in our area is $700/session (minimum 2 sessions) and the wait is 5 months. Should I try a new vet or has anyone had luck with a virtual diagnosis?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
