Depression at work?
Depression Support / by Etaine
Last post

...See more I've been struggling at work for a while now, and experience long periods of brain fog, an inability to concentrate, and slow-responses to information and/ or people in conversations and in meetings. I've just been assigned a big project and am finding that I am unable to function at a normal level, and it is affecting my work. Furthermore, depression has negatively impacted my social skills, and I find it much more challenging to articulate what I would like to express. I'm trying hard not to fall into cognitive traps, especially amidst other things that are happening in my personal life, but it still takes a toll on my self-esteem, and every day I have to go to work feels like a form of torture (I hope I'm not dramatic, I'm not trying to be. Just don't know how else to explain the pain/dread). When I am there, I'm not quite sure how to spend the 8+ hours productively, especially when my brain stays foggy for most of it. Does anyone have a similar experience, and how do you cope?
