I lost my last job a few weeks before Christmas last year and it took me a long while to find a new one. Ultimately I ended up moving to a new city for a job I was really excited about. However, within the first few weeks I suffered a major medical setback which led to a crippling bout of depression. I am finally starting to feel like a person again but I'm afraid the ship has sailed on my having success in my new role.

Similar situation here. I’m also worried about my ability to be successful in my current role due to a major panic attack that prevented me from completing some key tasks. I feel like I’m having to find new opportunities. I’m taking some time to take care of myself physically and mentally.

Please take comfort in knowing that most people have very short memories. If you go back in with the same zeal you had in the beginning, I’m certain your work will show it, and it will be a blip in the past. See also the “recency effect” 😉

Agreed - you can definitely bounce back. You will always have time. Most people who are reasonable also understand how it works, we are all human 😊

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

Anyone have undesirable side effects from the meds that you take for depression or anxiety? How do you cope with them? For me, the side effects are the lesser of two evils, because the meds themselves are working for me.

I take Bupropion (Wellbutrin), and is effective in helping me with my depression, but the side effect that I experience, memory issues, is pronounced and bothersome. My psychiatrist and I tried reducing my dosage, and it lessened the side effect, but it became quite clear that I needed to revert to my normal dosage to address my depression.

At one point we tried a "cocktail" by adding a small dose of Abilify, but that med was disastrous for me, and I needed to curtail it for my own well being (YMMV).

You learn who actually didn't consider you a friend/someone in their life based on wedding invitations. It's loud and clear.

Bitter? No. Entitled? No. Maybe taken aback, putting things into perspective. Realizing the friendship was only temporary. You were there when they needed you, but they didn't consider you an actual friend at all.

More like an afterthought.
