We all go through ups and downs. Of course, we know that ups and downs are part of life. And, those difficult events are bound to occur. We may experience a loss, a betrayal, an unexpected change, or tragedy.

 

Many times, we experience feelings of sadness and despair that go with such events. Many of us move through them in a healthy manner. But what if the feelings of sadness and despair last a while with no relief? What if you try to feel better, but notice nothing is working? As despair increases, it becomes more of a struggle to complete daily tasks. More difficult to get along well with others. And, hard to take part in fun activities.

 

Is this what you are noticing? If so, you may have symptoms of depression.

​

Here are some other signs that you may be struggling with depression: 

​

• Little interest or pleasure in doing things 

• Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless 

• Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much 

• Feeling tired or having little energy

• Poor appetite or overeating

• Feeling bad about yourself

• Hypervigilance, or excessive anxiety

• Feeling that you are a failure, or have let your family down

• Fidgety or restless, or slower than usual movement

• Unexplained, sudden mood issues after the birth of a baby

• Thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself
