If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, you are not alone, even if your anxiety or depression makes you feel like you are. Anxiety and depression can feel and present differently for everyone. But generally, anxiety can leave you feeling fearful, worried, and general unease. Depression can involve feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or lack of pleasure in things you used to enjoy. It can even leave you feeling like everyone would be better off if you weren’t here. And often times, depression and anxiety can occur together.
It’s important to note that some level of anxiety and feelings of sadness are normal! But when these feelings become overwhelming or cause significant distress or interfere with your daily functioning, it might be time to reach out for help.
Therapy can provide you a safe and supportive space to overcome the challenges you may be experiencing as a result of your depression and/or anxiety. Therapy can help you to identify the cause of your anxiety or depression, and learn effective tools and coping strategies to manage and reduce your symptoms. By working collaboratively with a therapist, you can learn to overcome your anxiety or depression, feel more empowered and resilient, and live the fulfilling life you deserve.
