It’s normal in life to experience occasional anxiousness or worry. The night before a big presentation may have awake in your bed, fretting over your preparations. By the same token, it is completely normal to be unmotivated or to have feelings of sadness for periods of time. This can include grief at the end of a close relationship. But anxiety isn’t simply ‘being worried’ and depression is more than just ‘feeling blue.’ Depression and anxiety are persistent, pervasive conditions that intrude in your day-to-day life.
Negotiating life with depression and anxiety is challenging, because these conditions are always with you, coloring everything you see, think and do. When you wake up fatigued, you know it’s because your anxiety kept you awake during the night with thoughts of failure and dread. When you sit on your couch and your phone rings, it’s your depression that keeps you from reaching out and connecting with someone else. Having depressio gn and anxiety inhibits your ability to concentrate, can lead you to be snappy and more irritable with friends, and may lead to insomnia or other sleeping problems.
