Anxiety & Depression

The Siblings

Two of the most commonly diagnosed mental health disorders in America, anxiety and depression, whether they are occurring concurrently or separately, can become serious obstacles to living a sane, emotionally healthy and productive life. We feel so overly saturated with stimuli: work, school, social media, the internet, kids, spouses, friends, dinners, shopping, finances, deadlines--the list of the average person's daily responsibilities can be overwhelming and unfortunately, it is all too common that our wellness and mental health needs end up taking a back seat to everything on that long list. 

Even more true is that everyone reacts differently to challenges and stress - and those who react adversely, often develop symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

Anxiety

The overwhelm, worry and seemingly unmanageable stress just happens and you don't know why. All you do know is that you cannot explain it and most times you feel like you can't prevent it. For some, your body feels as tense as a tight rope and you just can't turn off the endless noise in your head; for others, you feel and maybe even act irrationally--But for most, both these things happen, plus so much more... Living like this can be torture amidst the fear, the worry, the doubt and those endless negative thoughts bearing down on you. You likely feel that regaining any sense of order and normalcy is insurmountable and taking back your life, utterly impossible. However, there is a chance to take control.. a chance to take back your mind and your thoughts.. a chance to get your life back on track. I promise you, it is possible and it all begins with someone who will simply listen and then help you unpack, process, organize and rebuild...You can do this and you don't have to do it alone...

Depression

Depression is found to affect roughly 10% of the U.S.’s 18 and older population. The known struggle of overwhelming apathy and sadness, the lack of motivation and DILLIGAF feeling that comes with depression can disrupt someone’s life and make living utterly unbearable. Depression symptoms persistently cloud your thoughts and feelings and make everything feel negative. Life feels hopeless and you feel helpless

Depression  makes the simplest tasks seem completely unattainable; your usual interests no longer matter; your self-worth is in the toilet... nothing excites you and at some point you wish you were just nonexistent. The aches and pains, the lack of energy, and the feeling that you are stuck in cement can make getting through just one day with depression totally defeating.. But believe it or not, there is hope and there is some who cares...
