Do These Feelings Sound Familiar?

  • Sadness or hopelessness

  • Lethargy or low energy

  • Loneliness

  • Irritability

  • Feeling worthless

  • Suicidal Thoughts

Perhaps you sometimes feel disconnected, but mostly you feel overly emotional, even suffering from the weight of all of that heavy emotion. Some days, you want to die. You’ve thought about wanting to hurt yourself, or want to hurt others. Things that used to feel manageable on a day-to-day basis are suddenly overwhelming. You can’t cope. Ultimately, you’re feeling confused and just don't know yourself anymore. 

 

What is Your Purpose in Life? Is Depression Holding You Back?

You might be wondering what gives you purpose in life. These thoughts are totally normal reactions to life's challenges. What happens when these feelings linger? A week turns into a few weeks, a month, a few months. Perhaps then, these feelings have persisted into depression. Depression can present differently for many people, but some of the common signs of depression include:

  • Feeling down and lack of motivation

  • Feeling "stuck" having low energy

  • Angry outbursts or irritability

  • Low self-esteem

  • Suicidal thoughts

  • Feelings of loneliness or isolating behaviors

  • Changes in sleeping or eating habits
