Depression
You may have arrived here if you…
· Are experiencing a persistent feeling of sadness or a loss of interest in things and activities that previously brought you joy
· Have been isolating yourself from friends and family
· Having difficulty concentrating or feeling a heaviness that is slowing down your normal activity
· Are experiencing unexplained agitation, excessive crying, or irritability
You might cope by putting up a false front with your family and friends.
You might be allowing yourself to become consumed with work, or family responsibilities, in an attempt to distract yourself from how you’re feeling.
Or you might cope by attempting to ease your pain with alcohol, drugs, or sex.
