Have you found yourself struggling with getting up in the morning? Do you feel like you are walking through quick sand every day just to get through the day? Do you dread hearing your alarm go off in the morning? Has it been a while since you felt like yourself? If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, you might want to learn more about depression. Depression rears its head differently for every person. Some common signs to look for in determining if you are struggling with depression are:

​

• loss of interest in things that usually give you joy

• feeling sad/down more days/times than not

• crying more than usual

• sleeping too much or not enough

• changes in appetite (eating more or less)

• having negative thoughts about yourself and your worth

• thoughts about wanting to disappear

• hopelessness

• feeling empty or numb

• feeling more tired/having less energy​

​

Depression is not something to be ashamed of, and it's important to normalize the discussion around it. Most people struggle with depression at some point in their lives, and it's crucial to understand that it does not define who you are as a person. You are not alone in this journey, and talking to a therapist who specializes in depression can provide the understanding and guidance you need.
