Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety can be paralyzing.

Feeling anxious on occasion is something that many people experience. Challenges performing a specific task or meeting a deadline on a project can seem too hard to handle. Even something as ordinary as doing the laundry feels overwhelming.

Your anxiety can become a global problem, causing you to feel anxious about everything, even being alive. You can’t explain it to yourself, much less to a friend.

Dealing with persistent anxiety can make you have a sense of dread that can keep you from leaving the house. You want to relax and feel at ease and safe, but your nervous system keeps revving.

Depression and anxiety are often two sides of the same coin.

Sometimes you feel one more than the other.

When the engine of your anxiety shuts off, you can collapse into depression, creating a sense of hopelessness, low energy, and self-loathing – making it difficult to get out of bed in the morning.

Life goals lose meaning, and nothing seems worth doing anymore. The activities that once pleased you and brought you joy seem meaningless. There’s no flavor in life.

Sometimes, you feel anxiety and depression simultaneously. Your nervous system feels stuck in high gear, but you’re too collapsed to do anything about it.
