DEPRESSION
When everything feels heavy and hard to face.
Depression isn’t just sadness — it can feel like moving through fog, carrying a weight you can’t set down. Maybe you’re tired all the time, disconnected from the things and people you care about, or wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming. You might feel guilt for not “snapping out of it” or frustration that nothing seems to help. You are not alone, and you are not failing.
Depression isn’t always obvious on the outside.
What can depression look and feel like?
-
Feeling empty, numb, or hopeless
-
Losing interest in activities
-
Sleeping too much or too little
-
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
-
Feeling worthless or like a burden
-
Irritability or frustration
-
Changes in appetite or energy
-
Thoughts of giving up or wondering if things will ever get better
Why does this happen?
Depression has many roots — life stressors, losses, past trauma, cultural and family expectations, or biology. It doesn’t mean you’re weak or broken. It means your mind and body are overwhelmed and trying to cope.
Therapy is a place to untangle these experiences with compassion, so you don’t have to keep carrying them alone.
