Jobs and depression

My job is fast paced and there have been a lot of problems lately, I have tried to talk to my boss about them, he knows I have depression and he has not been very supportive. I don't know if my worries about work are anxiety or real. I keep breaking down in tears when talking to my boss and he has now fired me. I won't get a reference how do I get another job and stop this in future, help.

Hi Litty, welcome to the forums. I can imagine you’d be feeling quite down after not being supported by your boss, especially since things seemed to be more overwhelming at work lately. Your worries whether anxiety or not, have had a clear impact on your wellbeing so please feel free to continue to share how you’re going. It would be helpful to hear if you have any supports at the moment to help you with your depression, and how you currently manage during upsetting times when your worries may appear to get the best of you. Is there anything that’s been helpful?

Reach back whenever you’re ready,

Sammy

Works been tough for awhile theres been quite a bit of gossip going around and problems with the quality of the work. The boss believed some lies about me and i was blamed for some things that I wasn't responsible for. He refused to listen to me and was very angry. A friend who is in the business that I tried to talk to about my frustrations let me down by going to the boss without knowing the details which is what led to me losing my job. Its a complicated situation to explain I probably haven't explained it very well. My husband is not very supportive he's heard enough from me just thinks forget about it and just get another job. It keeps going around in my head, I have written down everything like people suggest I don't find it really helps. I try meditating, go to my happy place, imagine sending my problems down the river. My mind just keeps rehashing it over and over. I should probably go to the doctor but I've been to counseling and therapy before.i feel like it just seems to scratch the surface and never gets deep enough, does that make sense. By the way thanks for replying litty
