Depression “Action may not
bring happiness, but without action there is no
happiness.” Everyone, at
some point, finds coping with everyday life difficult. It is possible for
current issues to overwhelm all of us sometimes, either because too many
negative events have come together or sometimes because the current crisis
has reactivated an emotional upset from the past that has not been dealt with
sufficiently. For example, a death of a close friend may trigger our
unresolved mourning for a lost parent in our teenage years. Symptoms
Eight out often
people will at some time in their life recognize that they are depressed. The
symptoms include a depressed state of mind, feeling sad or empty, being more
tearful than usual, a loss of interest or pleasure, weight loss, difficulties
sleeping, loss of energy, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or excessive
amounts of guilt, an inability to think/concentrate and having morbid
thoughts. How can
counselling help? Counselling can
help you in several ways. We can often feel not so alone when we have someone
to talk our problems through with. The counsellor can help you to hear
yourself make connections and statements, which until that moment were
difficult for you to truly hear and know. The counsellor may be able to
support you through this difficult period without the use of
anti-depressants; if that should be your wish. If your
depressions have been recurring, the counsellor/ psychotherapist can help you
to work at a deeper and more unconscious level. This usually requires long
term work. |
