Anxiety and Depression Counselling

It’s been said that living with anxiety and depression is like traveling with a monster constantly following you. It saps your energy, draining you as you try to go about your life. Because of this you walk on leaden feet in a grey world. The monster never lets you relax. It causes you to constantly worry that you’re not doing your best, that you’re failing others, that there’s more you should be doing. The more you focus on these thoughts, the stronger the monster seems to grow. Being stalked by anxiety and depression means living each day with fear and pain.

Consequences of Anxiety & Depression

Trouble Sleeping – Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep is a common symptom associated with both anxiety and depression, where the person can’t seem to relax at bedtime. The mind simply won’t shut down and allow them to rest.
Being Hostile or Irritable – Individuals with depression and anxiety may become cranky and react with harsh words or actions, more so than the situation would normally warrant.

Trouble Concentrating – Unwanted and intrusive thoughts may slow down a person’s thinking, so much so that focusing on any one thing becomes difficult.
Indecision – Related to the challenge of concentration for people with anxiety and depression is the challenge of making up their minds. With so many cares and concerns on their mind, each decision becomes a major battle.
Sexual Dysfunction – Self-consciousness can block the natural affection a person normally shares with their partner. This loss of desire or concerns about performance can exacerbate a person’s anxiety and depression.
