Depression

Do you experience any of these symptoms:

• you can’t sleep or you sleep too much
• you can’t concentrate or find that previously easy tasks are now difficult
• you feel hopeless and helpless
• you can’t control your negative thoughts, no matter how much you try
• you have lost your appetite or you can’t stop eating
• you are much more irritable and short-tempered than usual
• you have thoughts that life is not worth living (Seek help immediately if this is the case)

If you are experiencing any of these, you may be suffering from depression. 

I have struggled with depression my entire life. Going through my divorce many of these symptoms have surfaced over the past year. It is a horrible condition, but it is treatable. You are not alone. 1 in 6 people will be diagnosed with depression. 

I have learned through my struggles, that it is a part of my life that I need to learn to live with. It is very manageable as well. Seek out help from a licensed therapist or counselor they will be able to give you the tools to deal with your depression. Depression will not go away by itself, but with help, you can get through it and live a normal, happy life! 

Make it a great day!
