How to get things done professionaly at work when I'm very depressed?

Treat your future self as a friend. What you do today echoes through the rest of your life. It can be hard to push through, but you'll thank yourself later for doing a good job! You should also talk to someone, whether a friend or a stranger or a professional, but don't let feeling down get you down. "Fake it till you make it" isn't a good long term solution, and you should still seek help, but it will get you through the day.

You can try and think positively, and tell yourself that your helping people and yourself by doing the work that your doing, it gets hard and sometimes you have no motivation to move or do your work, but you have to push forward and stay strong

Plan your days, I find that a To Do List is of great help when I don't feel so in control. It helps with tracking own goals/targets and helps ease anxiety as you tick tasks off. Also, be very clear on what the deadlines are and ask for immediate clarification when you feel stuck.

This is a very difficult thing to deal with however the fact you are depressed and still going to work you should feel very proud about that. Try before work doing some meditation or long walks soothing music. Try finding your passion for your work again. Remind yourself why you applied for your job.

You have to find your point of focus. Staying active can lead to lifting oneself out of depression. It helped me on several occasions. Finding that point at work which motivates or helps push you to completing work is very important for getting things done in the midst of depression.

When I suffered depression and was working I first went to see a doctor to get some help. I told them my situation and I was prescribed anti depressants. I then spoke with my manager and told them what was going on. We meet some where outside work and I told them everything. I then had some time off work until I got used to the pills. I went back to work and was really honest about my situation and everyone was really supportive. They actually helped to get me through it and working really helped. I also saw a counsellor and started using mindfulness to stop my mind spinning out of control. The doctor advised me to take the pills for min of 6 months. It was hard but things improved. The mindfulness really helped and the pills helped me coped as I worked through things.

Motivation is an indispensable thing that helps you to keep working although you are depressed. How about finding one for you together?

It is always best to talk to HR about issues such as these. It may even be wise to speak to your boss. When you are dealing with mental illnesses, people who supervise you will generally understand and try their best to empathise with you. Just ensure you get the help you need, whether it be from a doctor (medicine, therapy etc) or just by keeping yourself relaxed. Since it is a job, you don't want to lose it. But try to remember to keep depressive thoughts at bay where you can.

When at work personal things have to be put to the side, the easiest way to do so is engage with other workers talk to them. If you’re feeling sad talk to another trusted worker

If you depression is affecting your ability to work, you need to see a professional. A therapist or doctor can best help you overcome your depression and increase productivity.
