Are you feeling fatigued and having difficulties sleeping?
Feeling keyed up, on edge and unable to wind down?
Having difficulty concentrating and staying focused?
Loss of motivation?
These may be symptoms of stress, anxiety, or even depression.
Throughout our lives, we experience challenges and difficulties. The manner in which people respond to daily pressures or stressors determines their level of stress.
Sometimes we become overwhelmed to a point where we are no longer capable of functioning at our peak performance and enjoyment.
You may consider therapy if:
- You feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness, and your problems do not seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends
- You are finding it difficult to carry out everyday activities. For example, you are unable to concentrate on assignments at work, and your job performance is suffering as a result
- You worry excessively, expect the worst, or are constantly on edge
- You are feeling distressed and overwhelmed
- Your actions are harmful to yourself or to others. For instance, you are drinking too much alcohol, abusing drugs, or becoming overly argumentative and aggressive
Will I ever feel better again? How can I gain increased control of my life?
