Anxiety and Depression Survey
Are you currently taking medication (including regularly self-medicating with alcohol or weed) to treat depression or anxiety?
Disliking job
Childhood trauma (tiger parents), genetic predisposition
Used to with job that got annoying after awhile. Changed job, was better for a bit but now sucks again. Maybe it’s just life :/
This seems to be the norm at MS. Jobs are only dialed in for a year or so and then re-orgs tank the quality of life.
Molested by my father as a teen.
Sorry to hear it. 🙁
Sorry.
Brain structure , chemical balance, plus major life event stress was a trigger
This. Depression and Anxiety don’t need a “cause” other than for some of us it is just how our brain chemistry is.
This theory is very much still under question in the medical literature. The idea that a brain could be “chemically imbalanced” is shaky. There is no clear definition of a “chemically balanced” brain. The whole notion that vast amounts of people are depressed because their brains don’t make enough serotonin has been debunked. Makers of SSRIs (big pharma) were only publishing very selective studies show showed improvements with their drugs and shelving others. Only when researchers submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to get access to those trials were they able to do a huge meta-analysis showing that SSRIs did only a fraction better than placebo, except in a small subset of patients. This is not conspiracy theory. The meta-analysis I just mentioned published in JAMA, and there have been others in tier 1 journals like The Lancet.
Dislike work environment ( love what I do ) fears if I leave this one I won’t be able to find another one and even if I do I will not be able to sustain. Every single morning I need to tell myself “ take one day at a time “.
Childhood trauma, genetic predisposition
Bastards up the management chain.
Definite genetic predisposition towards anxiety and irritability. Last job had some political trauma. New job won't solve everything but looking forward to a cleaner slate.
Also, for those who are, kindly post the main source of anxiety or depression (e.g: fear of losing job, disliking job, financial stress, relationship, lack of relationship, etc.)
Fear of losing job
Hate my sl manager
