Don't Be Ashamed to Seek Help When Depression Hits
It’s often difficult to decide when you need to get help. Sometimes you only want to wallow in your own misery, act like it’s too late, and feel as though there’s no hope for you. In reality, that’s never true. It’s never too late to seek help!
Signs of Needing Therapy
When you’re experiencing depression, you can get into a state where you think it’s better to stay where you are and not even try to improve your situation. You might also have stress and anxiety about even trying to improve your mental health, that attempting to fix things might somehow make things worse. When faced with those thoughts, it’s important to first look within yourself and consider what might cause such emotions.
Has the current health climate forced you into abnormal isolation?
Have you been feeling depressed more often than usual as a result?
Does that feeling last for increasing periods of time?
Have you been feeling a deep sadness throughout the day for at least two weeks?
Is this sadness much different than you have experienced in the past?
Are your feelings getting the way of your work and relationships?
Is it becoming a challenge to take care of yourself every day when it comes to hygiene and eating habits?
Asking yourself these sorts of questions will help you in deciding if you should be seeking treatment.
If you’ve been going through this for a long time and you think your situation isn’t getting any better, then it may be time to get professional help. Studies have shown accepting treatment sooner rather than later can help reduce the long-term severity of your symptoms and ease the financial burden put onto you.
