Do you find yourself feeling hopeless or lacking energy and motivation. Do you feel like you are just getting by? Do you feel like you are trying to walk through water, with everything taking so much effort? Sometimes depression can make it seem like you are living under a black cloud that refuses to allow the sun to shine on you. It can steal your ability to enjoy the things that you used to enjoy. It can make you feel like crawling back into bed and pulling the blankets down over your head so that you don’t have to face anyone or anything. Do you feel like your depression is robbing you of the life you were meant to lead?
How to Fight Depression? Don’t Walk Alone
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the US. There are many levels of depression- from mild to severe, but any level of depression can negatively impact your life. There is no need for you to walk this road alone. Research shows that psychotherapy is an effective treatment for depression, and although it is a common struggle, it’s not something you must face alone.
You may assume that depression is solely biological or chemical in nature and that it severely impacts your activities of daily living. While this can be the case, there are many forms of and causes of depression. You may struggle with situational depression – from a recent loss, medical diagnosis, trauma or from the loneliness of a world-wide pandemic. Certain medical conditions have depression as a common symptom. Some people develop a seasonal depression or perinatal or postpartum depression. Feeling down or depressed is a common component of grief. Depression is highly treatable and shown to alleviate with psychotherapy. Know that you are not alone and able to have relief so that you can again enjoy all that normally brings you pleasure.
