Dealing with Depression
Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. It can weigh you down emotionally and physically, affecting your energy, sleep, relationships, and sense of self. Whether it builds slowly or hits suddenly, depression often makes you feel isolated and misunderstood.
You might:
-
no longer enjoy the things you used to like
-
feel emptiness, apathy, and a constant low mood
-
have low self confidence or self esteem
-
have extreme tiredness no matter how much sleep you get
Examples: Consistent low mood, Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder, Premenstrual Dysmorphic Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Bipolar, Dysthymia
