I was having a hard time at work, feeling really depressed, i would break down, cry, feel really low, I finally quit, for reasons other than my feelings, as soon as i left, i began to feel better. Some days now i do get or feel down and in some cases depressed, but usually due to the news or the way life in the world has become. I did see my doctor..i am just saying..what you feel may be more stress than depresson....

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Amen!
I basically reflect on this too. I believe that I primarily had work related stress but that as I tried to prolong my time at work with no let up, I quickly slid into a depression, coupled with panic attacks. I physically and mentally ran myself into the ground.
The key thing I am realising now is that I need to confront the cause of my stress. I may also need to leave my job (G-d Willing) or else something worked out to where my home life AND spiritual walk won't be so affected by my work life.
Most importantly I've realised that my ambitions and the job itself became a form of idol in that it was placed before my Heavenly Father, instead of following after Him. Fellowship disappeared first with my member church, next went Bible Study, finally I began to skip my morning and evening quiet times. It was at this point I believe my body screamed, "ENOUGH!" and shut down on me.
The L-rd is ever merciful though, and through him, I'm fighting back. I pray that He will keep my eyes always on Him in future.
Be blessed, brother
