Work depression?

Hey everyone. I'm really struggling with work depression. When I'm unemployed I'm so depressed and want a job so bad! Now I have a job, and before going I am so depressed, unmotivated and nearly just stay home and risk losing to job. Like it's really bad and I end up going and after the first hour I start feeling a little better but what I'm struggling with is The before part. Everyone else in the world works for a living and I feel so pathetic feeling this way. My last job I felt the same and I left without notice and never went back because that's how bad it was. Everyone is really nice and welcoming at work, there is nothing wrong at work that makes me not want to go, can anyone shed some light on why I'm feeling this way and tips to improve this feeling? Thanks xx

Hi digit, welcome

The only suggestion I have is leave earlier in the morning and go to a cafe before work so you break up the journey.

The longer you work thete the better you'll feel.

Hi digit,

FFIrst thing I would say is even though this is not your ideal job, do you at least like the field of work you are in. Motivation is the hardest thing to have. Try to set yourself a schedule. Wake up certain time, breakfast, grooming then off to work. Be proud each day you do this as you are breaking the cycle of depression even doing this as it becomes easier and the routine helps you feel you have stability in your life.
