I’m feeling overwhelmed and bad at my job. Small things at work are throwing me into a self-hate spiral that I’m at least aware of but I feel myself slipping into another depression over it...

It helps me to force myself to be more social vs. ruminating at home. Surrounding myself with people that will motivate me to do the things that bring me joy — see that movie, go to that museum, hit up that park.

I’m listening to an audiobook on mindfulness which is helping majorly. Know it’s such a depression buzzword but there’s a reason for it. I’ve found that practicing the skills even just while I’m reading helps reduce my anxiety pretty significantly.

Still the struggle is real and I feel like I’m living “paycheck to paycheck” with my serotonin levels 😂 So if it makes you feel any better, you are definitely not alone. Hope you feel strong soon xo

You are definitely not alone. Agree with everything CW1 said.
Sometimes unplugging a bit from work, still do your job well but maybe not the full effort, just for a set period of time helps me. Then take that extra energy/time and pour it into something else. Whether that’s a new hobby, building deeper or new relationships, practice a new routine for self care/exercise, clean and organize your living space, or whatever just get your head right.
