Get help now. Don't: Wait until you lose your job. Your dr or a psychiatrist can assess for mood disorder ; underlying medical conditions that may be causing symptoms. Talking therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy) is important for lasting change. Psychiatric meds may be indicated. Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home.

Get treatment: First, get treatment from a psychiatrist or other mental help professional. A letter from your provider may also help you advocate with work.
