Concentrating at work.

Just got back from lunch, i've booked a couciling session for tomorrow,

I've been doctors before over depression, and we was just a **** and me and him fell out, in my new job they have a couciler onsite so i can go see him and see what he has to say tomorrow.

Trying to move on from things is easier said than done, i've tried everything to move on from them but they always end up coming back to get me even worse.

I'm in the cat that works a little then gets it all done in a rush at last minute, but working in a helpdesk enviroment is gunna make that job rather hard.

I've moved from a Job that i hated, but i had lots and lots of friends. Close friends i could go and sit with for hoours and now in my new job i miss that, people in my office sit here with music on, i miss all the banter at work. and everyone else on site just seems to keep themselves to themselves its a horrible enviroment for me currently as i'm naturaly shy so its hard.

That sucks. I know a lot of people say that doctors give out too much prescriptions for anti-depressants and stuff, but the doctors I was seeing about my depression in the past refused to help me in any shape or form when I was in need of their help. So I can relate to your frustration.

Hope the meet with the counsellor goes well.

Mine refused to do anything,

I had 3meetings, 1 had to push to get coz he claimed nothing was up.

but hopefully cousiler will help a lot and be able to put me on the straight and narrow to recovery.
 
I have the exact same problem, (I am also in the 90% - 10% crowd)

I am fairly certain I suffer from depression, how exactly does one get diagnosed with it though?
 
In work i tend to be the one having to motivate the others to do the work, so i have to motivate myself to do that. stresses me out something chronic at times trying to get the laziest of the lazy to actually get on and do something.

I find myself getting really lazy when work goes quiet though, i jump on here then as soon as someone wants something i cant be bothered to do it because im so comfy lol

Your first port of call is your Doctor, or a couciler,

I'm off for my first counciling meeting today, and from what i hear frist 2/3 are terrible as you get really really deep and into everything. but it will be all worth it.

One of the largest factors in motivation is sleep - if you're really demotivated, then get more of it by going to bed earlier.

Ask anyone who's got sleep apnoea how much of an improvement they felt when they were diagnosed!

Makes such a difference to me. Also cycling to work instead of driving also has a big effect on me.

I'm the worst procastinator. Helps to fix a goal in your head of some thing at work you want to achieve, and then go for it. Not havng a overal goal/objective, really makes the mind wander.

Oh and stay off the web.
 
I have a problem concentrating, which is why I wasted 4 hours the other day waiting for the space shuttle to launch (which then didnt) and why I am on here :p
 
I do have this from time to time but purely because I do not really like the job I am in. But you gotta have an income so I work, I am not lazy I will get the work I am asked to do done I just won't really bother going that extra mile if needed as I have no desire to.

In a way it kind of helps as our organisation is undergoing a restructure and jobs are being moved about. I have an interview with my Resource and Development manager to whom I can discuss career plans, I have an idea what I want to move into but I am unsure how to get there as it is a quite a change in role. But hopefully my manager will be able to guide me or let me know who to speak to to try make that transistion.

That all said it is not un-heard of radical career moves within our Organisation as we are fairly big and have the capacity to do so. Good times ahead hopefully :)
 
Well had my first session, he wants to work together to help me get over all of this, seems positive, but dam was that first session hard really left me wiht things to think off. I can see it getting deeper and more painfull before better tho atm.
 
Yeah, very much so.

I do like what I do (even though it can be frustrating sometimes). I always find myself reaching for any distraction I can find though. Paradoxically I also seem to be more easily distracted the more time-pressure I'm under.
