Emotions Are SignalsFrom The Brain
Dealing with depression is more than just feeling “sad” and staying in bed. For some, depression is meant to be avoided at all costs so they ignore their emotions by preoccupying themselves with external things so that they cannot think or feel as they need to. For others, being depressed looks like self-isolation, sleeping in for activities, and overwhelming feelings taking over their functionality. Whether you choose to ignore or dive into your depression, it still needs to be addressed seriously and suitably care for your emotional health.
Does Depression Affect Me?
Many who suffer from depression may not realize the symptoms they are experiencing due to being able to still create, produce or live their daily lives as they normally would. Unfortunately, depression can affect anyone and when it does they might require mental health guidance so they can properly navigate their feelings and understand where their depression is stemming from. Below are some of the common symptoms of depression that can go unnoticed:
- Sudden loss of interest in hobbies, interests, or occupations
- Irritability or agitation leading to social isolation
- Changes in eating and sleeping patterns ranging from too much or too little
- Lack of focus and concentration, even in routine daily tasks
- Thoughts of harm or suicidal ideation regardless of follow-through
- Intrusive thoughts consume the mind leading to unpredictable behavior
- Feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or shame regarding your emotions
- Low energy levels resulting in lack of participation or remaining stagnant
