Stress is part of life, but depression does not need to be. How you respond to stress is the result of the story you have told yourself about life and success. If you've gotten stuck in your story then change can seem difficult, or even impossible. That is, wherever there is struggle there is a story that is stuck in a repeat loop. Depression is a story about the past stuck in a repeat loop.
If you’re having trouble getting ahead of your depression, know that relief is possible, and success can be inevitable. It is not that you can’t handle what life presents, it is that you need to learn how to not only create relief, effectively and efficiently, but learn how to create, sustain, and maintain happiness and peace. The goal is not less depression. The goal is to thrive. There is a therapeutic focus on creating happiness and peace, as well a relieving depression.
If you have been feeling as though you can no longer stay on top of the depression, know that change, relief, healing and happiness are possible.
Often these are the symptoms of depression:
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?
Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
I hate who I am these days.
I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
