Therapy for Depression

When depression shows up…

It can feel like a heavy weight that settles in, making even the simplest tasks seem exhausting.

It’s not just about feeling sad; it’s a deep, persistent sense of emptiness or numbness that doesn’t always have a clear cause.

It can be waking up tired, even after a full night’s sleep, or finding that things you used to enjoy no longer bring you the same joy.

It might show up as a fog that makes it hard to concentrate, or as a constant inner voice that whispers you’re not good enough, even when you’re doing your best.

Depression can be like moving through life with a raincloud over your head, even when everyone else seems to be basking in the sun.

Sometimes it’s a quiet, aching loneliness, and other times it’s a loud, overwhelming struggle that you can’t escape.

Signs of depression

Depression can be isolating because it makes you feel like no one else understands what you’re going through, even though so many others share a similar struggle. Here are some of the most common emotional, physical and cognitive signs of depression:

20traumaPersistent sadness and fatigue Feeling down, empty, or hopeless for most of the day, nearly every day as well as feeling constantly tired, drained, or lacking the energy for everyday tasks.

Loss of interest or pleasure and difficulty concentration A lack of interest or enjoyment in activities that were once pleasurable, such as hobbies, socializing, or work as well as trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.

Feelings of guilt or worthlessness Experiencing excessive guilt, self-criticism, or a sense of not being good enough.

Irritability or frustration Being easily annoyed or angered, even over small matters.

20thinkSleep disturbances: Changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia, waking up too early, or sleeping excessively and not being able to even get out of bed some days.

Changes in appetite or weight: Noticeable weight loss or gain, or a significant change in appetite.

Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide: Thinking about death, having suicidal thoughts, or making plans for suicide. If you are actively considering taking your life, text 988 or call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

 

If you are currently suffering from any of the symptoms above, you’re in the right place.
Depression isn’t something you can just “snap out of,” and it’s certainly not a choice or a sign of weakness. Therapy for depression can help.

You’re not alone in this… not anymore.
