You don’t need to “just push through” or handle your feelings on your own.
Everyone feels down at times. But if feelings of sadness, stress, or anger build or last too long, it can lead to significant problems in your life and relationships.
You may feel like you need to be strong or in control of your emotions. You may hesitate to talk to your support system because you don’t want to burden them or appear weak.
But depression isn’t going to pass on its own.
How do I know what I’m feeling is depression?
While feeling sad or down is often associated with depression, it’s not the only symptom you can experience. And sometimes sadness may not be the main symptom you notice. Because depression can look different for different people.
You may experience:
- Increased substance use
- Withdrawing or isolating yourself
- Changes in your sleep or appetite
- Difficulty concentrating
- Negative self-talk or self-doubts
- Fixation on the past or regrets
- Increased anger or irritability
- Feeling sad, empty, or hopeless
- Low energy or feelings of exhaustion
- Less interest in work, friends, family, or hobbies
- Feeling anxious or “on edge”
- Trouble controlling emotional outbursts
- Engaging in high-risk activities
You don’t have to experience all of these symptoms, or even more than a single one, to benefit from therapy. You just need a willingness to work through your difficulties so that you can feel better and live the life you want.

“The quality I value most in a health care practitioner is their ability to listen. Zack has a unique talent to appreciate a person’s story with empathy and understanding. What he does for in the office goes a long way for you outside the office. Highly recommend him!!”
