depression & anxiety

On the surface, everything appears to be going well.

But deep down, it’s a different story. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, upset, and insecure. Or perhaps you worry that you’re an imposter and that everything is about to fall apart.

This kind of depression or anxiety can feel isolating and confusing. You might even question if you’re really struggling. After all, you’re getting out of bed each day. You’re showing up and taking care of your responsibilities. You tell yourself that you have a good life, so why are you experiencing these intense feelings?

It’s essential to remember that depression and anxiety don’t discriminate- they are two of the most common conditions people face. Sometimes the issue is obvious, but many times, the struggle feels far more covert. This type of depression or anxiety is often called ‘high-functioning.’
