Hello

 

I am so sorry you are going through this.  That would be a very difficult situation to be in at work.  Is your depression and anxiety interfering with your work?  What is it that your boss and co-workers don't believe?  So they think you are faking?

 

Is there a human resource department at your work?  Do you think you can explain things there?  Do you have a therapist or a doctor who can validate that you are having these issues?

 

The bottom line is...what do you want to have done?  Do you need an accomodation at your work due to your depression and anxiety?

 

Let us know more...

 

I hope things improve for you.
