...See more Hi everyone. I hope you are getting through. I have moved to another city where I have to do my training. But passing even 1 second here feels insurmountable. My chest is heavy with sadness and anxiety and loneliness. Yesterday was my first day at training. Today is Sunday a holiday. I am feeling very hopeless and helpless, sad and tearful and anxious. I dont know how to cope up with this challenging situation. Please any tips.

overwhelmed with unrealistic expectations of other people

...See more I have been suffering from schizophrenia as I think it as. On the contrary I am diagnosed with Depression by my Psychiatrist, and I value his diagnosis. But I think it is schizophrenia based on my research on my symptoms. And I think that due to early control of my smptoms, schizophrenia didnt manifest in full blow state in my case. Yes it was controlled very early as I think it as. Coming to present problem, which is that, having passed my medical school with the support of my family, I am now, on daily basis. forced to go to job, which I hate going. I have a very low self-esteem which makes it difficult for me to interact with people there and to do a good job. Plus I feel people dont respect me on the job which although being my feeling, is not reality. I find it difficult to assert myself to my family that I couldnt go to job because of my mental health problem. They have no compassion for me. They think its lazziness. Get over it. But I just cant. Please find me a solution as I feel humilitated when family forces me to go to job and I feel self hatred as well. Please. Thanks.

Being student vs Depression

...See more I think many of people here have been or are students with diagnosed Major Depression. I am toughlion by the name on 7cups here. Depression does havoc to your concentration and executive function i.e to get information, store it and use it for future use, so its tough being a student with diagnosed Major Depressive Disorder. Please if any advice you want to give will be appreciated by me.
