There are 15 Causes of Depression

  1. Unemployment embarrassment – struggling to answer one of the most asked questions: “What do you do?”
  2. Backlash of commiseration with other job seekers.
  3. Loss of control – sudden, traumatic change of having a great job one day and no job the next.
  4. Backlash of commiseration with other job seekers.
  5. Constant uncertainty of not knowing when the job search will end.
  6. The ever-continuing quest for acceptance that is a job search.
  7. Feeling of insignificance stemming from a lack of replies to your many cover letters and resumes sent out.
  8. Overwhelming ratio of rejection letters to positive replies.
  9. The new experience of your first time being unemployed.
  10. Being forced into a tough situation with no choice in the matter.
  11. The unease of having to do something that you were never taught in school or simply aren’t prepared for, i.e. a job search.
  12. Having to support a family or other dependents during a rough moment in your life.
  13. The realization that you might be depressed and not knowing how to the depression.
  14. The difficult need to deal with these feelings while still seeming upbeat in interviews and while networking.
  15. Envying friends and family head out on vacation and enjoying life while you’re required to continue the unending search.

There are some Contents which is deals with job search depression like

1. Maintain a Routine. When you lose your job, you lose a lot of structure in your life. It's easy to sleep late every morning and to put off your job search, but those are some of the most unconstructive behaviors you can indulge in. The extra time in bed can lead to self-pity and self-punishment.

2. Exercise. Unemployment is stressful and scary. Exercise relieves stress, and the endorphin rush it creates is a proven mood-booster.

3. Keep a Job Search Journal. One of the most frustrating aspects of today's job searches is the lack of feedback from employers and recruiters, say unemployed IT executives. It makes them feel like they're not making any progress, like they have no control over their employment situation, and those feelings sometimes cause them to question why they're bothering to send out résumés and attend networking events.

4. Reach Out to People. It's normal not to want to socialize after a job loss has bruised your ego, but since you never know where your next job opportunity might come from, being open with people about your employment situation is in your best interest.

5. Attend a Support Group. 

6. Participate in Productive Distractions. If you need a break from the drudgery and thanklessness of your job search, you can engage in activities that don't involve résumés but that still complement your effort to find a new job.

7. Get Professional Help. Don't wait until you're deeply depressed to get help. 

8. Maintain Work-Life Balance. The more your self-worth and identity is tied up in your job, the harder job loss will hit you psychologically. 

 

Being depressed while you are unemployed is the worst. If you are also socially isolated or being excluded from social contact then you have just about the worst situation. Not only is is difficult for you to remain motivated in your job search, you also have very few people around who can support you or encourage you and your morale is at an all time low in this doubley negative situation. It is really hard to stop yourself from continuing with a negative frame of mind if you are also being unsuccessful in your job searching, but, dont give up. There are lots of things you can do luckily. One thing which is really useful is to take a volunteer role, one or two days per week for at least 4-6 weeks. Doing this should help to re-inforce that you have suitable work skills, not only to potential employers but to yourself. If everything around you is really dragging you down, you need something to lift you up! Volunteering is a good way to make a new network of friends, feel that you are useful and contributing to the world, and keep an ear out about paying jobs. It should help you take an edge off that depression too. As per usual treatments for depression, regular sleep, exercise and a good diet will help. Try to avoid further isolating yourself and doing depressing things like watching tv all day or staying in bed all day, keep a usual daily schedule.

 

 

A required job search doesn’t require a job search depression. If you’re aware of the problem, you can avoid its consequences with some anticipation and preventative actions.
