When low mood becomes more than just a passing phase.
We all have times when we feel low—after a loss, during stressful life events, or simply in response to the ebb and flow of everyday life. But when these feelings linger, intensify, or begin to impact your ability to function day to day, it may be something more than just a rough patch. It may be depression.
Depression is a common, yet often misunderstood condition. It affects how you think, feel, and behave—and can leave you feeling hopeless, exhausted, and disconnected from the things and people you care about. It’s not about weakness or failure. It’s a signal that something deeper is going on—and support is available.
What Does Depression Feel Like?
Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. It can creep in slowly, or arrive suddenly. It might feel like a heavy fog, or a persistent ache. For some, it’s a deep sadness. For others, it’s a numbness or sense of emptiness that just won’t lift.
Some common symptoms include:
Feeling low, tearful, or emotionally flat
Irritability, restlessness, or agitation
Guilt, self-criticism, or feelings of worthlessness
Disconnection from others, even those closest to you
No longer enjoying the things you used to love
Trouble sleeping—or sleeping too much
Fatigue, sluggishness, or physical heaviness
Difficulty concentrating or remembering things
Loss or increase of appetite
Withdrawing from social activities
Thoughts of not wanting to be here or feeling life isn’t worth living
Whether you’re experiencing just a few of these symptoms or many, know this: depression is not something you have to cope with alone.
