Yes they can also cause stress,until you decide whether or not you are going to the leave the job,try to find something positive about the job,so that will take the stress off of you a little,maybe you can give your boss idea to help with the business,that how i deal with boring jobs i find challenges in the job and meet or exceed that a go on to another challenges then when i have done all i could do along with getting experience i woud look for something else.As regards to looking for another job and you boss comment,ignore that, you can look for whatever job you want you are not in prison.Also i would recommend a 2 weeks notice,if you decided to leave.
Yes, any aspect of your life that you are unhappy about can contribute to depression. I would advise you to see a doctor, either just your family doctor or a psychiatrist. Also, don't just walk out of your job. It will be MUCH better for you if you give them your 2 weeks notice. Down the road, you will be glad you have that job experience to put on your resume - it will help you out. Hope this helps!
I would say screw the job. You boss cannot say anything towards you about looking for another job. The would be considered discrimination. I would find a diffrent job and make sure you have another one lined up before you throw the towel in and for proper measures make sure you give your two week notice since it's a full time job. That way they have nothing on you. But, to answer your question a job can make you depressed. As for the Idiot Cheating on you. At least you know now before you wasted anymore time on him. Give your family and friends a call. I'm sure they will be glad to hang out with you and most importantly they will be super glad to hear from you! I hope everything works out and I really hope you find a better job. You are better then that p[iece of crap place anyway!
well you have to work to pay the bills, but if you don't like the job you have, scope out your other options, i'm sure there's plenty. sorry to hear you were cheated on, that must be a big factor in depression. just continue to do your job for now, get that paycheck, and look for a better job if this one is not "OK."
Usually it's work itself... Few people get to have a job that describes a talent, and what I mean by that is you won't ever hear a kid say "I want to be a surgical technician when I grow up." Only a few people get to do things like play in a band or fly to the moon for a living. So, I think it's more work itself that is depressing. "Most suicides are committed on Monday."
I lost all of my friends, not due to lack of maintenance, but for some other dramatic reason. That being said, I'm sure you can get them back if you call them up. My former friends are beyond the point of return.
yes, your work can make you depressed. i wouldn't go so far as to walk out, you should definitely say that you wont be coming to work anymore in a week. If a boss tells you they don't respect you for trying to broaden your horizons, he/she has bad work ethics and is jealous that you have the ability to get out and they don't.
unless you can afford to quit don't ....wait till you
have another job offer before you quit
YES you can be depressed working somewhere you
do not like
an old movie called "joe versus the volcano' was
about that if I remember correctly
time to find out what you want to do and then start
applying yourself
good luck and best wishes
i just went through a situation just like yours. i was working so much i never got to see my finance or friends so i quit and began to look for another job. then we didnt have enough money for rent and we moved out and apart. the only advice i can give you is to find what makes you happy, then quit, not vice versa.
Oh yeah, my job made me really depressed last year.
Things have changed a lot now, and I feel a lot better, if it's getting to you that much you should just leave....
Don't quit until you get another job. Then quit. It happens all the time. As for the guy who cheated on you, be glad that he's gone. There are plenty of men in the sea. You will find new friends at your new job. Why don't you talk to a family member about what's going on? Yes a job can make you depressed. Who cares if the people on your job don't respect you. You won't be working there for much longer anyway....screw 'em.
i think it is your job if your not passionate about what your doing for a living then it makes you feel the way your feeling i think you should find something you are interested in and try making that a carer and your friends that you no longer have really werent your friends in the first place because a friend is gonna be there for you no matter how busy you are and your boyfriend or i should say your ex really didnt no what he wanted i am sure your a great person and keeping people that in your like life only makes your life difficult so it makes every things else in your life hard to deal with my suggestion is try getting work some where else and start fresh "out with the old and in with the new" trust me youll feel a millions time better
Your relationships are important to you.
And your relationships are what is causing your problems.
Now, I have known people who became depressed over their jobs.....people who work with the dying, who do foreclosures on one family after another, who need to interview abused children about the crimes done to them.........sad, sad jobs.
Your job may frustrate you with the long empty hours, and the hours you work may interrupt your day, but that would be a frustration, rather than a reason for depression.
don't let your boss or anybody chase you out of your job, stand up to them no wonder you are depressed take some sick leave and decide what you want to do. spend some time with your family and if it is what you want take some of this time off to find a job you would like to do. but don't ever let anyone force you into anything you are not comfortable with. some boss you go girl get him back always make sure you have an answer to everything. i do and it works. good luck.
Try to secure another good job quickly--a job you will be happy with, and put in your 2 weeks. It sounds like you are in a bad situation. If your family would be ok with helping you until you find a new job then put in your 2 weeks immediately.
Stay there until you find another job. You'll be more depressed standing in the unemployment line.
Cheer up. You'll find a better job. See a career counselor.
well lf your not happy there then just call them and tell them that your not coming in
