Please help

Depression is not curable.

But if I don't go to work, I don't have any money anymore.
People around me say that if you work, money will come in.

If you can do that, you won't become depressed.

It's really painful.

I think death is the greatest salvation.

I understand getting scolded, but for me now
It's hard to live even in this moment.

What is life?

I read it. I'm sorry to hear that this is really painful. I'm wondering if there's anything I can tell you right now. Depression is a disease. After all, I would like you to receive treatment. I know it's very difficult to live. Our lives were given through various relationships. And even now, food for life continues to be given to that life from various creatures and things. So while our lives may seem like our own, they are not ours. I think it's in the midst of pain, but when you take a slow breath and look around, various lives are being nurtured. We are working hard to live even in the face of adversity and death. I want you to feel that even a little bit. Our lives are connected by relationships that are beyond human knowledge. It's a connection that never ends when we physically live. I know it's really difficult right now, but I'd like you to think objectively about life for a while. I sincerely pray that you will recover from your illness and live a healthy life while slowly adjusting your breathing.

Prioritize recovery first

 “If you can do that, you won't become depressed.”
You're absolutely right.

First of all, why don't you prioritize those recovering from a state of depression.

Depression takes time to recover, but well, I think it's better to feel like “getting along well” rather than “defeating depression.”
Do you go to the doctor? Even if you don't have money, it seems that you can go there cheaply if you use a system called the “Independent Medical Support System.”

↑ This blog came up when I was researching about the independent medical support system, but it was actually written by someone who had depression, and the other pages are also helpful. By all means.

Also, for cases where there is no money, there are ways such as welfare. The previous answer stated that I was consulting with a lawyer about my debts, so it might be a good idea to talk to a lawyer.

Your right to life is guaranteed by the Japanese Constitution. Please don't be pessimistic, let's just think that we can do something about it.

If you overdo it, it won't hurt

It's the same as the other monks, but depression is an illness. My brain is tired. My heart is tired. I understand how impatient you feel, but try dealing with a disease called depression here and devising ways to live and hold your mind. I think it's fine to take it slow. Also, I think they have the power of gods, Buddhas, and ancestors. I think it's fine after the feeling that I'm going to worship it comes out. Don't overdo it.

Don't be misled by symptoms of depression (added and deleted due to character limit)

It's the same as getting a fever when you catch a cold, and when you become depressed, you think about death, but it's a symptom of illness, so don't die.
Don't be fooled by the symptoms of the disease.

Isn't it necessary to analyze the cause of depression and get rid of it

Serious people are more likely to get sick because they assume that I have to do this, that I can work, or that I can do it alone, that I don't need help.
My ideal self is high.
Then, anger against oneself arises due to the gap between ideals and reality.
Also, when you get angry at yourself, your heart weakens, and you become depressed.
So, first of all, you have to let go of your assumptions.
Please let go of your ideal self and acknowledge your real self.
By doing so, there will be no gaps, and anger against oneself will also disappear.

appending
Now that I'm thinking about “death,” my depression hasn't been cured yet, so I can't return to work, so please rest. There was also an article stating that cycling on a bicycle is effective in recovering from symptoms. Why don't you try it out?

It is ideal to return after being completely healed, but since there is a time limit, I think we will have no choice but to give up and leave once we have healed to a certain extent.

If it heals in the future, the company's support is necessary.
Doesn't the company have an occupational physician?
If so, please discuss support from the company side when returning.
If not, talk to your manager or HR.
It will happen again without support.

There is also a period of leave of absence, so please consult with the company (industrial physician, human resources, boss) with the feeling that it will break down. (Not now, but after the symptoms have healed)
If you get depressed at work, your company probably has an obligation to support you.
For instance,
Why don't you reduce the number of days you go to work for a while, eliminate overtime, reduce the amount of work, and ask them to get rid of stressful ◯◯ jobs.

I don't know about your company, but the company I used to work for supported it.

There is a site that identifies depressive symptoms, so I'll post it.

There is still a deadline, so don't be in a hurry and plan your return while consulting with your doctor.
If it's hard for you to talk to the company, ask your doctor to talk to the company or industrial physician.
