During stressful times our moods can shift quite quickly. But feelings of overwhelming sadness, lack of motivation and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed can be consuming and affect all areas of our life.
Our providers can help you gain an understanding of your depression, identify negative thinking, and help you gain the appropriate coping skills to increase feelings of self-worth, happiness, and contentment.
Depression can feel like an overwhelming sense of sadness. A feeling of total lack of motivation and pleasure in things we once enjoyed. Some people experience depression solely because of a situation, like the loss of a loved one, pet or a career coming to an end, or a relationship ending. Other people can feel depression on a more continual basis and can make even simple decisions or interactions seem overwhelming.
Sometimes depression can cause physical symptoms, such as inability to sleep or eat and can cause people to isolate and not want to be around social environments. All this makes it difficult to function in your day-to-day life.
Depression can be difficult to manage on your own. Depression can make you feel unmotivated, lost, and uncomfortable both physically and emotionally. We know those who experience depression want to learn how to overcome these emotions and be more in control of their thoughts and behaviors. Learning how to manage these feelings can be helpful as you navigate through stressful life situations so you can get back to being you.
