You’ve become an empty shell. You haven’t felt like yourself in such a long time, and you’re starting to get the suspicion that you don’t even know who that is anymore.
Adult Depression
And even if you did, you’re not sure that you like yourself. You want so badly to move past this depression, and you’re ready to understand where it’s coming from.
It’s hard to remember back to a time where you felt energized by life. When you freely threw yourself into your passions or engaged with others openly and honestly. You have desires for the path you want your life to take, and there are people and things that mean a lot to you. But you have absolutely no motivation to make them happen.
Lately, it’s as if the stress of your life has won, and you feel beaten down by everything you have to manage. You can’t imagine feeling any lower or thinking any worse of yourself.
So here you are, doubting there will ever be good in your life again.
A lot of the time, you feel overwhelmed by life and the expectations, rules, roles, people, and routines that make up your world. And you know that it’s time to get the help you need.
You truly want to feel capable and confident. But, you have no idea how that will ever happen if you can’t stop feeling like a failure. You never imagined wanting to give up all that you hold dear. And, you certainly didn’t expect to feel so empty. You’re ready for answers.
