How do you know if you're Depressed?
- Hopelessness and helplessness seem to pervade your life. You feel sad and empty almost all of the time and you have lost interest in activities that used to bring you joy.
- You have either lost your appetite or you can’t stop eating to save your life.
- Your sleep cycle is out of control. You either are sleeping too much or not at all. When you do sleep it’s not at appropriate times.
- Fatigue and lethargy have hijacked your sense of vitality. Your limbs feel like 100 pounds of lead and you couldn’t get off the couch even if your house was burning down.
- You are really agitated and restless and nothing seems to help. You are more irritable and short-tempered than you used to be.
- You feel worthless and guilty about the past. A lot of the time you do not feel that you deserve to be happy.
- You have trouble making decisions and you continually have trouble concentrating or finishing tasks.
- You are having trouble controlling your thoughts and you experience the same negative thought patterns over and over again.
- You have thought about killing yourself to get away from the pain. (seek help or call the crisis line at 1-888-724-7240 if this is a symptom you are experiencing)
Our Depression Therapists:
At Good Therapy San Diego, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to depression therapy. Our experienced San Diego, Encinitas, and Oceanside therapists use evidence-based techniques such as EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you:
- Identify and Understand Triggers: We work with you to identify the underlying causes and triggers of your depression, whether they’re related to past experiences, current stressors, or biological factors.
- Learn Coping Strategies: We teach practical coping strategies and skills to help you manage symptoms, regulate emotions, and cope with life’s challenges more effectively.
- Challenge Negative Thought Patterns: Negative thinking patterns often contribute. We help you recognize and challenge these thoughts, replacing them with more balanced and positive perspectives.
- Explore Emotions and Self-Compassion: Therapy provides a safe space to explore and process your emotions, develop self-awareness, and cultivate self-compassion.
- Promote Lifestyle Changes: We emphasize the importance of self-care, healthy habits, and social support in managing depression. We work with you to develop a holistic approach to wellness.
Depression can be extremely overwhelming and can take over your life. If you are experiencing some of the symptoms above you may be experiencing a depressive episode. Oftentimes life’s ups and downs get the best of us, but this mood disorder has the ability to bring on despair. If you are not careful, depression will pull you into its cycle very quickly.
Depression says, “Don’t get out of bed. Stay in. Call in sick to work; they don’t need you anyway. Don’t answer the phone. No one wants to talk to you when you are like this. Don’t exercise or eat well. It’s too much work! You don’t have the energy to do that. Turn off the lights. Close the blinds. You don’t deserve to see daylight today. Oh and while you’re at it, go ahead and rehearse in your head everything that is wrong about you, your family/friends, and the world today. That will make you feel better.”
The problem is that we tend to listen to the negative self-talk, which makes it worse and exacerbates the problem. If this sounds familiar, please don’t hesitate to get the support you need to break the cycle. You are not alone! Depression is the most common mental illness and it is treatable. You don’t have to do this alone. Take the first step towards healing by scheduling with a depression therapist at Good Therapy San Diego. Our compassionate depression therapists are here to support you every step of the way.
