maybe reading "the art of happiness at work" by The Dalai Lama (Author), Howard C. Cutler will be able to help u a bit?
The Art of Happiness at Work is a modern-day Socratic dialogue in which Cutler asks the Dalai Lama about the difficulties and rewards we might encounter in the workplace. The authors explore issues such as work and identity, making money, the Buddhist concept of "right livelihood," and transforming dissatisfaction at work. The discussion appears simple, if not obvious, at first, but upon closer scrutiny, the Dalai Lama's profound wisdom and sensitivity emerges. For the Dalai Lama, basic human values such as kindness, tolerance, compassion, honesty, and forgiveness are the source of human happiness. Throughout the book, he illustrates with clear examples how bringing those qualities to bear on work-related challenges can help us tolerate or overcome the most thorny situations. Recognizing that not all problems can be solved, the Dalai Lama provides very sound advice. The authors urge balance and self-awareness and wisely state, "No matter how satisfying our work is, it is a mistake to rely on work as our only source of satisfaction." --Silvana Tropea -
go for a nice mr bean movieOriginally posted by Honeybunz:Due to work stress, personal issues at work etc.
I want to quit my job but got bills to pay (though not very much).
Loss of income is quite painful to me, considering that I've been working for so long.
I know I have to get a new job first, before moving. Still finding and going for interview. But no news yet. Over the weekend, I tried to rest. Still didn't help.
How? -
I am still feeling lousy, in fact worse. Try to watch performance or movie also no mood.

What do you have to be thankful for? Please list them down for us to see so we can judge if you should be depressed or we should be depressed since we have less things to be thankful for.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Due to work stress, personal issues at work etc.

Take a short break preferably overseas. You may be experiencing burn-out.
Also do some exercise cos a healthy body helps sleeping disorders.
Work is stressful & neverending.
Just do the impt. ones first, leave the less impt. ones for later.
If you seriously cannot cope, then speak to your superior & maybe he/she can do something about it.
End of the day, if u are still unhappy, then look for another job.
Ask friends for 'lobang' cos they may have some recommendations.
Also register with employment agencies. -
bunz, you're worrying me..
come sit at the beach with us on saturday at sentosa... i'll share a beer or three with you.. take your mind off stuff..Originally posted by Honeybunz:I am still feeling lousy, in fact worse. Try to watch performance or movie also no mood. -
i can empathize.
i left my job because of stress.

The good news is you've identified the source of depression - it's work .
Don't give up the faith when it comes to job seach, sometimes there are dry spells. If leaving your job is crucial to your well-being then be less picky about new jobs. Can always switch again from there.
The other alternative is to tackle work problems head-on but I guess it's beyond repair thus you're contemplating leaving. -
Saturday I am working.... againOriginally posted by the Bear:bunz, you're worrying me..

Need to give yourself some time to ease and relax your mind 1st.... Like I've said, it's difficult to pretend that nothing had happened and enjoy much of anything in life if you never really let anything go in the 1st place....Originally posted by Honeybunz:I am still feeling lousy, in fact worse.

bunz,
lots of people are concern for you and rooting for you.
hang in there. and go hang loose sometimes. -

Before your depression get worse, My suggestion to you is go find someone who you can share your woes with. (Make sure that person is willing to lend you his/her ears.) Spill all the sorrows and everything inside you out . You will feel better . By keeping all your problems to yourself, will only make you feel worse and one day you may lose your mind. Do what you enjoy doing during your free time. Listening to your favourite music when you are doing nothing might help.
Always look at the bright side of life ~~
No matter how dark the tunnel you are inside, you will eventually see the (exit) light at the end of the tunnel.
