I think I am suffering from depression. I
just went to see the doctor this morning. He said that what I am
going through has a cause (I can't figure out this cause for the
past week despite asking myself many times). And this cause
triggers off the negative thoughts and which is why it makes me
feel down.
I really have no idea what is the cause.
Maybe you all could help me in determining the cause. The few
possible causes I could think of are work stress and accumuated
stress.
Work stress has been getting on to me for
sometime and it doesnt help that the department I work in is
shorthanded and every staff is over loaded. My old manager just
left and there has been no replacement since and no one seems to
help me in my work. I am also taking alot from my higher supervisor
who likes to assign me those extra work to do for him.
It makes things worst that he is insensitive.
My other half is also working in the same company as me and my
higher superviosr knows and he seems like a avid kpo person, going
around telling others about this. (Hes an old guy btw). This is
something which is not too good as somehow it will affect how ppl
view us as profesisonals at work.
Accumulated stress I would say is due to my
past experiences? I used to be a normal, quiet and shy guy. A bad
experience with friends during my secondary school days has caused
me to become more introverted and to lose all trust in friends,
particularly guy friends. I experienced a betrayal of a guy friend.
I duno how this past experience links here but it seems I have not
forgotten it.
Any thoughts form anyone?
Hmm i think you are just too stressed with work. You need to
learn to unwind abit and have some bits of fun. Maybe you and your
wife can go for recreational activity, play a sport, go
for an evening stroll, have a nice movie and
dinner..basically do something nice and enjoyable after
work, to loosen up abit.
