does working make anyone else so much more depressed and suicidal? I'm not a lazy person by any means but for some reason it makes me more depressed than ever. I have to work because I need the money but it makes me want to die sooner than planned.

Yes. My job isn't bad but it can be stressful. I'm not naturally a morning person either. I suffer from fatigue as well and it feels like all I do is work and rest.

I get that. The worst part for me to is my coworkers who seem so normal and happy, talking about their plans and futures without a care in the world. Having to mask and act like I'm the same as them. It's exhausting.

Do you like your job? Do you like what you do? How is the workspace climate? Stress factors? Just some questions you can answer for yourself. This is just my opinion, when the job doesn't make you happy and you've been depressed before you started that job then that's not a good base to fight depression. I'm aware it's difficult situation, I'm sorry you have to go through that.

when the job itself is nothing but navigating red tape and low finances, incompetence, hopelessness, extreme distress and physical danger, yes. it definitely wasnt the only factor but a large part of why i deteriorated was my previous job. there were months at a time i would cry before or after every single shift. when what one does just to survive impacts their mentality so negatively, it becomes that much harder to even want to WANT to remain

Hello.
Sometimes we think too much while performing tasks at work.
But if we don't have the job it's even worse.

I've only worked 6 weeks, without pay as part of my vocational school studies when i was 16.
Hated every second of it, during the 3rd week was my first time admitting that i'm suicidal to my dad.

Absolutely. Not working is only an option if you're rich or don't mind the streets. Things these days are so fucking expensive at all times I feel I just work for free, and I'm not interested in higher education so I'll be doing shit jobs all my life. Not to mention people. I truly do not want to be around other people so, really, it I'd bizarre I stay alive. I guess I'm mainly trying to hang on till April but it isn't a guarantee and I'm sick of owing my fellow humans everything just for the right to live

I agree with that. You didn't say a reason really why working makes you depressive and suicidal. In my case it is other people and the thought that I will never will be good enough. So I'm the problem, and idk what I can do about it.

If you want to do something about it, you should first think about whether you are the reason or the job. For example, if the job is way too stressful, you should think about changing it, it's hard but it's worth it. .

Thats my opinion. I hope that you will become happy.

If I had a job in retail as a clerk, or had to clean toilets, or do hard back breaking labor yeh I would hate that but I'm fortunate to have other avenues to earn money thanks to a college education that did an exceptional job of preparing me to do things I actually enjoy.

People around you notice when you're very good at your job too and that's a nice bonus. It's nice to get compliments and bonuses, and I've even gotten gift baskets unexpectedly from grateful employers. I also get sincere appreciative thank you's every day.

Mood. I hate being around people and I've failed to launch since graduating college last year so I'm basically a hiki/shut-in. I hate the fact that existence costs money and we owe other people for the right to live. Wtf? This world is so messed up honestly

yall should try to get universal basic income to get more serious attention for those ahead of us. every societal improvement starts somehow and not forcing people to work seems more and more viable as technology advances. its not like tech advances are going to just stop short of a temporary global energy wipeout like a crazy solar flare, and thats just a short unreliable disruption

The worst of all is that if you work your life is practically stolen. If you don't work, you die of hunger, live on the street, etc. etc. We live in an unsustainable mode of production. There are no paths that lead to a happy place. This happy place was stolen from us. We are modern slaves.

I think I complain about my job every day, and then I come here like once a week to complain about it some more, haha. I hate it. It's a major contribution to my ideation.

There are some days where every second I spend at work, I would rather be spending them dead. I don't like to work in general, but I think if there was something I liked, something I was good at, something I was passionate about, I would probably enjoy it more. I haven't found anything like that yet, and unfortunately, I doubt that I ever will. It also sucks worse for me because I am the only person working in my household, so it definitely feels like I'm working for free. As soon as my paycheck comes, it vanishes.

However, I am grateful to work even if I don't like it. Not everyone can keep themselves afloat and I cannot take that for granted; being able to afford some food and shelter is nice, even if those are often the only things I can afford.

Nobody here is "lazy" for not wanting to work, including you, OP. A normal 9-5 job is not designed with us in mind, it can quite literally be impossible due to our chronic mental and physical illnesses no matter how benign they can seem on the outside. As my mental state deteriorates, I'm becoming less and less of a productive employee and I think in some time it may become impossible for me to work, too. My boss is already try to soft-fire me because I come late sometimes (it's not important that I show up on time but he is one of those CEOs that's out of touch with how his company actually works and wants me to "earn every penny" lol) and because I have been taking the paid sick days I finally became entitled on the days when I actually felt sick or was going insane. They don't care about us and never have, the system is set up against us but we're not lazy.

I hate the fact that it costs money to exist on this planet. None of us asked to be here, yet we have to pay to exist. Seems absurd to me. I hate the fact that we're expected to work away our lives. We're literally living in a time of modern day slavery. It's literally wageslavery. I hate capitalism so much

yes, i feel this way as well.
i am already having a hard time doing the basic things like getting out of bed, brushing my teeth, eating, etc.
starting this year i am doing school online instead of in person, which is an improvement because at least i do not have to be around all those people and it does not last as long.
but i will have to work eventually, it is inevitable.
i am completely exhausted by life. the reality that i will have to spend time slaving away just to continue living a life i do not even want to live to begin with is very depressing.

i desperately want out of all of this, i have no reason to subject myself to this overbearing suffering. i wish i had a way to get out quickly and painlessly.

Same! I honestly want to ctb as a way out. I don't want to have to enter the workforce or become a capitalist wageslave. The thought of slaving away and being chained to a job is depressing to me, and having to do that for 40+ years? No thanks, I'd rather die now, honestly. Fuck capitalism!

the most depressing part of it all is the human instinct to survive. i am conscious of the fact that i want to be dead, i do not want to exist anymore.
but i can not bring myself to die, i am scared. it is not death i fear, it is dying that i fear. i want an easy way out of the shithole, but unsurprisingly life is not so forgiving.
