Signs You Might Benefit from Depression Counseling
Many people wonder, “Is what I’m feeling really depression?” If you notice any of these signs lasting more than two weeks, it may be time to reach out for support:
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
Fatigue or low energy, even after rest
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in appetite or weight
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
👉 If you ever feel unsafe with your thoughts, please call 911 or dial 988 to connect with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You are not alone.
Depression can look different for everyone. For some, it’s a heavy sadness that never lifts. For others, it’s feeling numb, exhausted, or like life has lost its color. You might find it hard to get out of bed, struggle to keep up with daily tasks, or feel disconnected from people you care about.
Left untreated, depression can impact your work, relationships, health, and overall well-being. But you do not have to face this alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck.
