Ever have "one of those days"? Those days where you "woke up on the wrong side of the bed?". I'm sure you have. We all do. Do you ever get butterflies in your stomach or have those nights where falling asleep is difficult because you have stuff on your mind? Of course, these things are a normal part of life.
For some though, the sleepless night turns into two, then three, then a week. Those "days" become one, then two, then three or more. The butterflies don't go away, the mind doesn't shut down at night. The feelings of sadness or irritability become constant. Your friends and family start to ask you what's wrong. Your boss notices that you are having trouble getting your work done. You start losing contact with friends because you just can't get out of the house to those social activities you've been invited to. Your parter or spouse wonders when you'll smile again.
When depression and anxiety begin to effect your job, your friendships, your ability to get those daily tasks done, your relationships with your family, your children, and your ability to be happy or see the good things in life is when you may need help to overcome the hold it has on you. Sometimes depression and anxiety can be so overwhelming it feels like there is no end in sight, like there is no light at the end of the tunnel and finding happiness again is like searching for a needle in an extra large haystack.
There is hope, because there is help. Together we can uncover those chains that depression and anxiety have you bound with. We can rekindle the light in the tunnel and we'll find that needle in the haystack, no matter how big the haystack may be. You CAN get your relationships back on track, be able to function at your job again, go out and enjoy life again. I can help.
