Anxiety & Depression
Some days just feel hard. Really hard. Maybe you catch yourself thinking, “What’s the point”, “I can’t do anything right”, “I hate myself”. Or maybe you can’t even find the energy to get out of bed or turn off your tears, and nothing seems to bring you the joy you once had. You may be feeling hopeless, worthless, exhausted or unmotivated. You may even be questioning whether you want to live anymore.
Or maybe you just can’t seem to turn off your mind. Your thoughts race, your heart beats rapidly and your body tenses. Maybe you’re having difficulty sleeping or you are feeling tired, restless or irritable.
Perhaps the isolation of COVID has brought up fears, anxieties, and insecurities that have left you feeling sad, numb, unmotivated and lonely.
If you can relate to some of these signs, there is a chance you may be suffering from depression or anxiety. The two can often go hand and hand and it can be hard to tell the difference. But please know, you do not have to settle for living this way day in and day out, and you don’t have to go through this alone. Things can get better. Feel free to reach out to see how we can lighten this load together.
COVID & Depression/Anxiety
It is important to acknowledge that many of us are experiencing “collective” trauma, or a trauma shared by a group of people, due the Covid-19 pandemic. If you are experiencing heightened symptoms of anxiety or depression, or are just not feelings like yourself, please reach out. We may be living through this together, but you don’t have to live through it alone.
