I m 47 years old banker. I was posted at a remote area. Being diabetic & no medical aid there I fell ill.I m suffering from depression from my childhood. I can't live so far away without my family neither i can shift them with me. Being without pay financial,mental crises arose. Also can't leave my job,don't know other ways for earning. What can I do ?
I m from India
I take it your employer offered no medical cover? I don't know how things work in India but do they have no provision for cases such as yours, like an emergency fund?
Is it possible to ask them if you can apply for a transfer back to a place nearer your family?
Is there a possibility a member of your family could help, at least until you are back on your feet and can repay them?
If you want to look for a different job there are a few job centres you could access online, I have added an email address that may help. Although most of the jobs online seem to be for call centres.
The depression is a hard one to deal with if you are on your own. Little things you could try is to promise yourself you will do one fun thing everyday and stick to it. It could be something very silly or something very easy, like if you pass a childrens play area with a swing, have a go on one for example. It will be hard to start with, but as you get used to challenging yourself every day, it should start to get easier. When you are feeling a little less depressed, everything else gets easier to deal with.
As for your family, if you can't be together at the moment, write letters to each other. You will all enjoy receiving them and it will give you something else to look forward to.
