You’re still showing up. You just don’t feel much like yourself anymore.
Things that used to feel easy take more effort. You may be exhausted but unable to rest, surrounded by people but disconnected, or getting through everything you need to do without actually enjoying much of it.
Maybe you’re sad. Maybe you’re irritable. Maybe you don’t feel much of anything at all.
And sometimes the hardest part is wondering why you can’t just snap out of it when, from the outside, your life may look perfectly fine.
Depression doesn’t always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like functioning while quietly feeling less and less like yourself.
Therapy can help you understand what’s happening, interrupt the patterns keeping you stuck, and start making room for energy, connection, and enjoyment again.
