Depression after prolonged period of burnout

Posted By lisztener99

"Depression after prolonged period of burnout"

About: Ealing IAPT

(as the patient),

Depression after prolonged period of burnout and inability to keep up with my responsibilities.

Burnout and stress from significant distressing events in the past couple of years led to me being unable to keep up with my responsibilities, leading to feelings of incapability, guilt and hopelessness which further prevented me from getting back on with my work. I started to fall behind in my studies, failing my exams and facing concerns of being kicked out of university, as well as starting to socially isolate myself and what not.  

Ealing IAPT staff were motivated and empathetic. Along with the patient staff they were also good listeners and very supportive.
