How much worse can it get

...See more I've made a whole slew of mistakes at work recently. I'm feeling overwhelmed and completely burned out. I worked flat out today and then when it came to working the juice cages everything seemed to fall apart. A bottle of coke burst. Twice. And a colleague cleaned it up. Which I felt awful about. Then later on I started working another cage of juice and the colleague tidied that one as well. I had to do food waste disposals as well. Also shutters on fresh foods dept and work some off a bread cage that the manager had left out. I saw the manager on the phone as I was tidying up. I'm feeling epically self conscious at the moment. As well as struggling with everything I've got going on inside my head at the moment. I feel like I'm not making any progress at work and I'm making things harder for other folk as well. And I feel that this is being picked up by management. I want things to improve but I feel I'm not helping myself by doing stuff like this. I've got depression and I feel that makes things worse. And that's why I always feel I'm being kept an eye on by management. And I make so many mistakes that it consumes what I'm thinking and talking about all the time.

Work overload

...See more I've just come back to work today. An absolute mess in the fresh foods chiller where all the stock goes. I didn't do a very good job on Friday. Mainly because I'm unfit and overweight. I'm finding this Christmas thing, where they send more stock in an absolute nightmare. As you can imagine I'm not in a great place right now. I have depression and I don't think I'm particularly well liked here at work. I know it would be easier to walk away but I really need to organise my personal life better so that I might be able to cope better at work.

Taking myself off social media

...See more I'm a terrible procrastinater. I've put on masses of weight. I don't exercise as much as I should. I don't have a massive social circle, if any at all. I find that being nearly 60yrs old a real struggle. I struggle with meditation also my diet too. Being on my own a lot leaves me in my own thoughts a lot as well. I make mistakes at work, which managment pick up on. I think coming back here will give me the confidence to start thinking more positively about myself. Give me the confidence to Try and keep up with those exercises. I'm hanging onto my job by a thread, which isn't good. Whilst I understand living with depression is difficult, I feel I should be doing more to help myself. I get stuck at home. I don't go out much, if at all. I'm hoping I can be a bit more positive. Eat better and feel better about myself.

...See more Hi. I've been away for 3 yrs now. I'm seriously depressed and I've almost given up all hope of getting over my depression. I'm not sleeping well. I'm cold and I'm not exercising. I'm glad I came back to this community. I don't know why I left. I think it's important that I get involved again. I'm lonely and I find it difficult to talk to people. I have a very fractured relationship with my grown kids. I work in a supermarket. I feel like everything is going wrong for me right now. I hope I can participate and get more exercise and get more motivated.
