Life has been hard lately. We were already just barely balancing everything, then we had to learn how to cope with a global pandemic on top of everything else. It is completely normal to have an emotional reaction to challenging circumstances and to feel some worry, sadness, or stress. While it is a normal part of life, it is important for us to learn how to identify the signs that it is becoming a problem and learn how to cope with these challenging emotions. Here are some important points to consider about anxiety, depression, and stress:
It can affect people of all ages.
It often looks like anger, even though that’s not the primary emotion.
It can affect all areas of our lives or only manifest in specific areas.
It can make it difficult to feel motivated.
It can affect our physical health and our sleep.
It can have a negative impact on relationships.
Whether you or your loved one has been experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress only recently, or if it is something that has been present for some time, counselling can help. We will work together to explore the situation and identify solutions to provide some relief.
