Job

If you are suffering from depression, your relationship with your colleagues may be seriously affected. It can also undermine your ability to do your job.

Depression can affect both your relationship with your colleagues and your ability to work. Many people who suffer from depression tend to be on long sick leave. It is important for them to rest and recover fully before they are able to return to work. This is especially so if their work environment are highly stressful.

Most employers are quite understanding when their employees become ill. You are allowed to take days off. If you are on sick leave for a long period of time, your boss will make the necessary arrangement for someone to take over your job temporarily. 

The best way to seek your boss understanding is to talk to him about your problems/illness.

Most people will try to understand your illness. Unfortunately, there will be a small group of people who will withdraw from you or do not understand how difficulty things are for you.

Therefore, the best thing to do is to alway stay around with people who cares and understand how you are feeling. They will be a source of support for you.
