That's easy, if it's that bad then leave. Anyone who requires medication, prescription or otherwise, in order to manage to cope is really do themselves and their colleagues a great disservice. I've had several jobs in my time and believe me this is the best I've ever had. Get yourself out there and give something else a try noone and nothing is more important to you than yourself so why endure it!DBur42 wrote:Just wondering how other Postal Workers get through their day & deal with all the changes Royal Fail are forcing on us :cfo .

So what you're saying is that 25% of RM workforce should leave every year whenever they suffer from depression* 1 in 4 British adults experience at least one diagnosable mental health problem in any one year, and one in six experiences this at any given time.

In most cases, it's the bullying and incompetence of the management that cause all the mental illnesses I've seen so before you start spouting off about 'if you don't like it you can leave' you should have a think about the causes.

Depression is not the only, or most common form, of Mental Health Problem. The most common are generally self-esteem related and most forms can be treated using Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. Those who are in fact given drug medication for the depression of which you speak would also be advised to look at and change certain activities, eating habits etc. If the root cause of their depression is their job, (more likely a major contributor than a sole cause), then a job change would be a recommended course of action. If the low moods are as sporadic as you suggest then that's not depression as such and much better fixed by talking to someone positively, (not negatively on a Forum).
Regardless of those facts those who are continuing to put themselves through hell in a job they dislike for bosses and a company they hate and with conditions that make them ill, should really leave, not self-medicate and stay!

In my case, Work wasn't the cause, or even a significant contribuitary factor. At least at first, anyway. But as others have already pointed out: If you're already depressed. Then the problems we are coping with at RM, certainly don't help. Particularly, when you have insensitive Managers. Giving you grief, when they know you are already down.Himaggen wrote:No that's what you're saying.disgruntledpostie1 wrote:Himaggen wrote:That's easy, if it's that bad then leave.
