Do These Feelings Sound Familiar?
Sadness or hopelessness
Lethargy or low energy
Loneliness
Irritability
Feeling worthless
Suicidal Thoughts
Perhaps you sometimes feel disconnected, but mostly you feel overly emotional, even suffering from the weight of all of that heavy emotion. Some days, you want to die. You’ve thought about wanting to hurt yourself, or want to hurt others. Things that used to feel manageable on a day-to-day basis are suddenly overwhelming. You can’t cope. Ultimately, you’re feeling confused and just don't know yourself anymore.
