Depression can mean different things to each of us, but in general you might be feeling a deep dissatisfaction with life. A sense that things are hopeless or that you have little worth in the world. Things that you used to enjoy no longer fill you with joy. It has become hard to believe that others care for you or that you have the capacity to care for yourself. Seeking counseling to address depression can help you to uncover what fulfills and sustains you, as well as helping to identify the root causes of your depression. You deserve to exist and to have a fulfilling life as a human being on this Earth. You do not need to do anything to earn that, but it can be important to do the work to learn that you are worth it.
