Depression & Hopelessness
It’s feeling down, sad, or hopeless.
It feels like something is wrong, something heavy. And it won’t go away because you want it too. It feels like no matter what you try you cant find things that make you happy, your mood is down, and you may be struggling with sleep.
No matter what you do; ignore, distract, and tell yourself it will be ok, nothing seems to help. You just can't shake the funk.
And the culture isn’t helping. Everywhere you look there is something to be frustrated, sad, or worried about. You may feel down about kids, your job, the economy, your relationships, housing, community, natural disasters, pandemics, politics, social events… this list is overwhelming just looking at it.
So what do you do? Lay down, isolate, take a nap, eat, and hopefully you will have enough energy to deal with this later.
I Can’t Shake This Funk!
You feel like this… Every. Single. Day.
Here is the problem; depression and hopelessness typically don't go away on their own. For example, creating a work schedule that allows us to save for our future “dream vacation” is helpful and typically leads to joy and hope. But not here. It's “What’s the point? That doesn't sound fun.”
Clinical depression looks different from depression. Most people go through depression but it will resolve on its own. And they tell us this, “I used to be depressed and now I'm not.”
This just leaves you feeling worse. It lingers and interferes with how you work, play, and love.
