Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety

  • Are you fighting a constant battle inside your mind?

  • Are you plagued with fears, worries, insecurities, and an overall sense of dread?

  • Do you often find it hard to breathe? Does you heart race? Is it hard to concentrate?

  • Are you tired of just trying to stay afloat?

Anxiety is a response to stress and a normal part of life. We feel nervous prior to starting a new job, worried when our child is sick, and experience heightened stress after being in a fender-bender.

Sometimes, however, anxiety can feel overwhelming and interfere with daily activities. Worries, fears, and concerns don't go away. When your brain is constantly on alert, you feel physically and emotionally exhausted.

But, it is important that you know relief is possible and your life can feel different.

“Hope is a waking dream.”

— Aristotle

Depression

  • Do you have a hard time getting out of bed?

  • Do you sleep 12 (or more) hours a day, yet still feel exhausted?

  • Do you no longer enjoy the things that used to bring you pleasure?

  • Does life feel uninteresting, uninspiring, and monotonous?

  • Would you like to show up and be present for your friends, family, and work but feel as though you are running on fumes and have nothing left to give?

  • Are you struggling with feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, lack of motivation, resignation, or dread?

You may feel like you are weighted down by a heavy, wet blanket and that the little things in life take a huge amount of effort to accomplish. You may want to isolate yourself even though you feel lonely. And, you may question your capabilities, lovability, and worthiness.

With the right support and guidance, it is possible to overcome depression and regain a sense of joy and fulfillment in life.

There is hope.
