Lots of people walk around with a low level depression much of their lives. For them, life is the experience of being "down," or sad for no reason they can identify. Others navigate most of life "just fine, thank you." Then the day comes when a cloud moves in overhead and they just can't shake it off.
Review this list of symptoms for those that sound familiar in your life:
Please note, any and all of these frequently go along with the death of a loved one and are part of the normal grief process. If, however, three or more of these were "yes" for you and if they have lasted three or more weeks, you may need help to shake the cloud.
If you are having any thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else, or if you feel the world would be a better place without you, please give us a call or confide in someone you trust. Life really is worth living and you don't have to stay stuck in the present situation.
