Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety
It’s that never-ending loop in your head that fills your body with worry and fear.
Constantly second-guessing even the smallest decisions.
You can’t concentrate and see tasks through. It feels like your life is collapsing around you.
Avoiding situations because of the fear and anxiety – you feel out of control!
You struggle to connect with friends and family.
Where is the joy, balance, and calm?
When you live with anxiety, it’s frustrating and isolating.
Your stress is overwhelming as you struggle to stay focused. You are consumed with worrying, sleep more often, and your eating habits have changed.

Depression
Are you feeling discontent with everything?
You feel hopeless and have lost interest in things that used to bring you pleasure.
Agitated, isolated, restless, irritable, can’t sleep or just want to sleep, and your cry often.
Maybe you can’t concentrate – you’re tired and lack motivation.
Perhaps your self-worth is at an all-time low, and you’re plagued with thoughts of suicide.
Your depression may or may not be related to a specific event. Depression can come out of nowhere and often goes along with anxiety. Here is what’s at stake by not seeking help:
- Isolation
- Suicidal thoughts, plan or action
- Inability to function
Help is here.

Relaxation and meditation techniques are helpful.
You will respond to feelings more appropriately. As a result, your mood will improve.
