Hello,

I’m 26 and have been constantly depressed about working a 9-5 job/40 hour work week for the past few years. I’ve been working full time, and job hopping since I was 15.

Every single day I wake up knowing that I will give away 8 hours of my life for just enough money to survive at the end of every 2 weeks. Even on my days off I’m constantly thinking about how my day needs to be so structured so that I can get my 7-8 hours of sleep, while doing all of my errands in a timely manner, so I’m basically rushing through my days off.

Let me clarify, I don’t mind my job itself. I bake cookies and it’s so easy a monkey could do it. What I’m constantly stressing over is the fact that I HAVE to give most of my day up to survive, for probably the rest of my life.

So my question is, will anti depressants help me be desensitized to this feeling? I want to go into work everyday 10 minutes early, and be happy and talkative like my coworkers, and to make management happy by being a good worker and getting sales to where they want. I hate doing all of these things, but I’d rather feel like a mindless robot than be depressed like this.

Thanks a bunch
