Bad days and good days are a part of life, we all have them. But what happens when the bad days snowball into bad weeks, which might spill over into bad months, and suddenly you’re hit with the realization that…you don’t really remember what a good day looks like.

Depression can feel like being entrenched in a hole and no matter how hard you try to get out, you only dig yourself farther in. Healthyplace.com describes depression as:

“It feels like everyone else is moving on with their lives while I am stuck here, in this hole that I can’t climb out of.”

You deserve more good days. The days filled with hope, laughter, and fulfillment. Depression can steal that from you, giving you only exhaustion and hopeless in return. There is a way out. It won’t be easy, but depression can be beaten. Thriveworks Columbus, OH (Polaris) has years of experience and training that can help us as we walk with you away from depression and towards the life you’ve dreamed of.

Of course, Thriveworks Columbus, OH (Polaris) depression therapists understand that depression can make talking to someone, especially about how you feel, sound impossible. You don’t have the energy for that! Depression can steal all your life and energy. And maybe you’ve felt like this for so long, you’re pretty sure there’s no way to change it.

These thoughts are untrue, but normal to think! They are doubts and fears that are common to think about counseling for depression. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help when you have depression, and our Thriveworks Columbus, OH (Polaris) counselors want to respect how far you’ve come in being able to do so. It is that same strength and courage that we have seen countless times over carry people through their depression, and into hope.

Am I Depressed?

Depression is much, much more than just feeling sad and down. Feeling sad might not even be apart of it! Depression is unique to everyone who experiences it, drawing off of their personality and situations. You aren’t alone if you’re fighting depression. Our Thriveworks Columbus, OH (Polaris) counselors are here to support, guide, and encourage you.

Some common signs of depression include:

  • Feeling worthless
  • Having no energy (may be called “lazy”)
  • A loss of interest in things that used to bring you joy
  • Mental fog (not thinking straight)
  • Abnormal sleeping patterns (sleeping too much or too little)
  • Unordinary eating habits (eating too much or too little)
  • Irritability
  • Changes in sex drive
  • Feeling down or sad
  • Suicidal thoughts or behavior

Depression’s affect can go much deeper and wider than this short list shows. Impairment can show in everything from your career to your social life to the individual passions you pursue. But nothing is permanent. You don’t deserve depression. Thriveworks with our convenient Polaris office near Westerville, Worthington, and most all of Central Ohio, is here to help you fight for your life back and overcome the traps of depression.
