https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/depressed-again/m-p/480896#M41075 I recently found myself becoming depressed and dissatisfied with my job. I was also dissatisfied with my home life. It then led to me having a sick day, then a 2nd day, then a whole week off. After that i decided to have a 2nd week off. (Not sure if I was just lazy or I really needed it). As I was casually employed the employer decided to let me go as they needed someone reliable. I was sorry about losing the job but felt i wasn't totally happy with it anyway. Before i started taking the time off I was just going through the motions at work, I would look at the clock all the time and just go through the motions. At the moment I am home but I have this restless feeling inside, yet when I try to get things done it takes me ages. I guess you could say I am bored at the moment.

I actually went to the GP last week and did the k-10 test, i was given a referral to see a psychologist. It was hard to get a booking with the psychologist but I got one for this coming Wednesday so I will see how that goes.</P> <P>I am still at home at the moment and it does get frustrating, I feel like I should be working and bringing in a pay cheque. I do try to get stuff done at home but it seems to take me all day.</P> <P>You asked me about interests. I don't really have many. I like to go for walks,I like reading and I watch a lot of tv when i'm home like this.</P> <P>I hope this message finds you well Geoff</P> <P>regards David.</P> Sat, 27 Jul 2019 02:58:23 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/depressed-again/m-p/480898#M41077 David 2019-07-27T02:58:23Z
