Depression & Anxiety

I was thinking of something that I could talk to you guys about, and I decided to talk about depression, and anxiety. In our everyday lives we are faced with a lot of different challenges, and situations that are sometimes more than we think we can handle. Although God will never put us in a situation that he thinks we cannot handle, these situations are sometimes a lot to deal with.

I think that many of us don’t deal with things in the right way. Like me for example instead of expressing how I might be feeling about a situation, I keep my emotions inside and I don't really talk about them, this is something that isn’t healthy. Different studies that I’ve recently read about show that those who keep all their fears and anxieties bottled up tend to suffer from depression, and also different forms of anxiety.

I have always counted on God to help me with everything I’ve been through, but lately I have also started to express my feelings especially throughout this blog, and to talk to people about how I feel. I wish that I would have done this from the beginning especially with my father’s sickness, because I think it would have been easier for me to cope with the situation. 

It's really important for you to always express how you feel, and to always be able to talk to someone about what you’re going through. This website that I found shows different symptoms of depression which can lead to different anxiety issues.

Some of the different symptoms they mentioned are:

• unusual or sad mood that doesn't go away
• lack of energy or tiredness
• feeling anxious, empty or numb
• getting headaches and stomach aches
• not eating, and losing weight
• not being able to sleep, or waking up early

It’s important that if you have any of those symptoms I’ve listed or that are on the website I shared with you that you reach out for help before it becomes a threat to your health.

This address of the website i found is http://www.cyh.com/HealthTopics/HealthTopicDetails.aspx?p=240&id=2079&np=298.

This website also shares different links to other websites that talk about challanges you may be facing.

I hope this somehow helped some of you.
