I was wondering if any one knows.

I usually don't comment much anywhere, but I was wondering if anyone knows if I can get something at work that tells people something similar to that I'm depressed and prone to self harm? I'm wondering this since I don't want to be harassed by others.

I am extremely depressed and have been depressed for as long as I can remember. Whenever I mention anything about my depression or Suicidal thoughts to anyone I know the only solution they have is to get mad and yell at me. I'm at such a poor mental state that anyone being nice or mean to me just makes everything worse for me.

I'm at a point in life that I'm so badly depressed that I don't really remember why I'm depressed as badly as I am. I also feel like I'm one more Mental breakdown away from throwing myself into a speeding train.

I'm sorry with how I wrote this out I usually keep everything bottled up so I don't really know how to talk to anyone. I also can't afford to get any mental help for anything. I also feel like I'm completely worthless and if any one were to ask me to describe myself it would be the most negative things I can think about at the time.

I'm sorry if it takes me a bit to reply to anybody I have social anxiety and am usually scared to talk to anyone due to how I've been treated about my mental health issues every time I have brought them up.

    I'm sorry that you're in this situation.  I also struggled with depression for many years, including in the workplace.

    Is there an HR department where you work?  I would suggest that you speak to them.  If it help, take some notes with you or even write the whole thing out to overcome the social anxiety.  They will know if there's a procedure in your organisation for dealing with mental illness and there may be an occupational health nurse who can help you (admittedly that's more likely if you work in a bigger organisation, which obviously I don't know).

    When you say you don't want to be "harassed," do you mean there are people bullying you in the workplace?  That would obviously be a very different situation, although you should still speak to HR about it.

    I hope some of this helps.
