Why do people never talk about the part of depression when you just don’t want anything anymore? Everybody talks about when it hurts like hell, when you cry, when you cut, when you take drugs, when you break down. But no one ever talks about when you just lay down in your room, with a hole inside of you that you don’t know how to fill, and you don’t want to do anything even things you usually like. So, you just spend your day kinda waiting for it to end and it’s horrible because you feel empty and guilty for that at the same time.

Workplace Stress
Managers can be open to the concept of flexible hours and to temporarily reassigning work when they see symptoms of stress. Additionally, they can encourage an open dialogue about the employee’s needs and attempt to work with the employee through a difficult time. Many stress-related circumstances are temporary in nature.
