Your co-workers are very immature, and need to do some growing up. Work, of all places, is where you should act more adult like. My advice, would be to file a report against them, including the names of everyone involved. Go to the big boss, and let them know! You should not have to emdure being bullied at work of all places, and it should not be allowed! That is why you must go report it to your boss or whoever is in charge of hiring and firing.
Dont let yourself get to down about living in a ghetto. Whenever your feeling depressed about it, think of all the homeless people who live on the streets here and there and everywhere. Think about how they would LOVE to live in a ghetto if it meant getting them off the streets. Sometimes, we fail to be thankful for things we should be thankful for, untilwe think of the people who dont have the things we have, and it makes us become more
thankful.
And you say people even bully you when you walk out your front door? I totally agree with elitelady on that one! "Love me, or hate me, either way im always on your mind". When these people do this, tell them just that!

I think that you should be placed on a mood stabilizer actually! such as Valium! It will calm you down and take some of the stress away! I use it myself! and it helps me in certain situations! Look sweetheart people are going to be just who they are and there is not a thing we can do in regards to the way ppl view us! and look at it this way! who cares about what they think of you! only you know your battle and only you have the power to change it with God's help!! have you ever stopped to think about the reason they consume so much of their time speaking on you is because they are jealous! lol I myself would be very flattered that I'm on their minds all day! it would MOTIVATE ME EVEN MORE!!

I think I just replied to your inquiry about wellbutrin. My advice is to stick it out at work and continue with your therapy. Doing something drastic like quitting your job or moving with hurt your recovery. Be strong and start the path to recovery. Your therapist can give you the best advice for improving your specific situation.

Hi, And Golden Valley sounds so beautiful, and yet you say it is a ghetto.  I am so sorry.
Have you been diagnosed with depression?  I am extra touchy sometimes because of the depression.  People say things, and often they are taken the wrong way.  Are you sure your co-workers are being nasty to you?  What do they do that upsets you so much?  Perhaps they see that you react strongly to what they say or do.  

We on this site listen to each other, and try and help as much as we can.  Un fortunately that is all we can do.  We try to encourage people to help themselves.  I feel so sorry that you are struggling.  I know what it is like to have little money.  

Will it be very difficult to find another job in your area?  What would I do?  You are asking us and it is difficult to reply to that.  I have had problems at work when I came out of psychiatric hospital as my boss made life harder.  I could see he was testing me.  But I survived.  I just showed him that people with depression are as good as anyone else, and can work just as hard.  

Keep posting here.  I am sure you will get a lot more ideas from people here.
