has anything changed recently in your life that you think might be contributing to this feeling of depression that you are having?
assistant
Question

user

I'm sorry to hear that. my friend lost his job about 6 months ago and he was also feeling a similar way. I think this is to be expected when you have a sudden change in circumstances however this by no means undermines the seriousness of the issue

I haven't had this issue personally but a friend has. It is true that your job also forms an important part of your identity and when your job situation change is it have a big impact on your personal life and mental well-being.

user

it took him awhile but once you found new job that he enjoyed the depression went away. there are some support groups out there for depression so if you need to talk to someone about that would likely help too
