Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?
Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
- I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
- I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
- I hate who I am these days.
- I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
- I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
- My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
Identifiers for depression include:
- Feeling depressed most of the day, most every day
- Lack of interest in all or most activities you used to enjoy

- Inconsistent sleep patterns (oversleeping or lack of sleep)
- Noticeable lack of movement and disconnect from the present
- Fatigue or loss of energy, nearly every day
- Limited ability to think, concentrate, or indecisiveness, nearly every day
- Recurring thoughts of death or suicidal ideation, whether it's passive and there's not a plan, means or intent, or active in which there is a plan, means, and intent
