Do you want to break free of depression?
Some of us, sadly seem more at risk to certain types of depression than others. We now know that life events, childhood experiences and our genetics play a role in whether depression strikes or not and if it does how intensely. Depression can arrive seemingly out of nowhere or follow a very stressful situation or a significant personal life change.
How do I know if I’m depressed?
Depression can interfere with your feelings, your thoughts, and what happens in your body. There are many symptoms, but here are some common ones.
Feelings
You might be experiencing a loss of pleasure and interest in life or activities that you used to enjoy.
You may have feelings of worthlessness, guilt, helplessness or weakness. You may be feeling stuck or trapped.
You may have an overwhelming sense of self-hatred, despair or sadness or perhaps loss of hope.
Thoughts
Depression can impair your memory and affect your concentration.
You might be noticing increased indecisiveness or self-criticism. Typically, in depression, we begin to devalue things; ourselves, others and our accomplishments.
Your mind may also be giving you suicidal thoughts and the idea that things are darker than they are.
Your Body
Depression affects your body.
Symptoms can include headaches, overall body pain or back pain, fatigue, lethargy, sleep disruption, loss of sexual desire, restlessness and changes in weight.
How do I get help?
