Have you noticed a decreased interest or pleasure in doing things that you loved doing in the past? What about significant changes in your weight when you haven’t tried to gain or lose any? Do you have a hard time sleeping? Or if you’re like me, maybe you sleep too much. Are you fatigued or suffer from a loss of energy? Do you have thoughts of death or suicide? These are all symptoms of depression.

When you start feeling sad or empty inside and it goes on for longer than a few days, you may want to look into whether or not you are depressed. We all have those days where nothing seems to go right, that everything is falling down around us. That’s normal and shouldn’t cause too much fear. But, if these feeling are going on day after day, it’s time to get some help. There is a lot of information out there about depression. My first suggestion is to find a good therapist.
