What Does Depression Feel Like?

Depression presents itself differently to everyone. Some people feel a deep, never ending sadness, and others feel completely empty and numb. Some stay up all night and some sleep the day away.

The thing I really appreciate the most Is how even though we're working on solving one problem sometimes life throws us curveballs be it, tragedy or loss of a loved one. I appreciate the fact that my clinician is always willing and able to adapt to sudden situations.

I've been working with Larissa Radziniak for some time now and I'm really happy with her. She gives me a safe, nurturing environment where I can share and learn from my experiences. I really look forward to our sessions. She has given me tools to deal with overwhelming emotions like “I'm uncomfortable but I'm safe,” and techniques like not trying to control my emotions - “just ride the way.” I hope I get to meet her in person at some point.
