Am I depressed, or do I have depression?
“Depression” is a word that is tossed around easily but is often misunderstood. Being depressed and having depression are two very different things.
Is it situational or from within? For instance, if you won $1,000,000, do most of your issues disappear? Either way, that speaks volumes.
You can feel depressed and sad for a few days. But when you have depression, there’s just no escaping from it.
Depression has a devastating impact.
Depression impacts every aspect of your life, but it affects everyone differently.
You may sleep too much or not at all, binge eat or have no appetite. You may feel angry and irritable for no reason. Maybe you turn to destructive habits, which can distract you from the pain momentarily, but amplifies your sadness long-term.
It’s so hard living with depression, and you can’t just will it away. You know, because you tried that.
