[quote=Anonymous]I was recruited for and offered a great job in another state. My husband (who works remotely) was excited about the move, but I was worried about uprooting our kid, so I turned down the job. In general, I've been happy in DC, so the prospect of moving to a new location for a job was not on my radar until this organization reached out to me.

As things get worse and worse in DC, I regret my decision and I'm just anxious and upset all the time.  I went from feeling great about my life in DC to feeling sad and anxious all day.  I'm having trouble sleeping and feel like I went from being very happy to being totally depressed. My husband is being understanding, but I can tell that he's frustrated--we had the chance to move, which is what he wanted....he stood behind me when I turned down the job....and now I can't stop crying about it.  I know I'm being a total baby, but I can't seem to pull myself together, to sleep through the night or to enjoy my DC job.

I just started on antidepressants.  Has anyone been through this?  What helped? I'm so disappointed in myself, and then I'm disappointed and annoyed with myself for feeling disappointed.  I just can't get out of this negative loop!
