Do you think being a nanny is a tough job for someone fighting depression?

Question

My depression is really overwhelming. I am seeing a therapist. Not really helping. But I have to make money like everyone else. So nannying works because I would not be able to work with coworkers/customers or start my own business right now. It’s just too unbearable. It’s hard for me to do simple tasks. I’ve been a full time nanny for 5 months now. I feel exhausted every day

You sound unsuited for the job. A nanny needs to be mentally strong and that is not true for depressed people. Your job is get out of it. Before you make other people dependent on you.
