Anxiety and Depression
Counseling for Anxiety and Depression in Oregon
Anxiety and depression. They’re like bad BFFs.
And counseling for anxiety and depression is the good solution.
Because no matter where you turn, they’re always there – in the worst possible way.
Making you feel bad about yourself, skewing your perspective, and making even the little things difficult. This calls for counseling because you’re…
Worried, sad, hopeless.
Nervous, or scared you’re not good enough.
It ISN’T working and you know you have to do something, but what?
Counseling for anxiety and depression.
Meet Susanna, the high achiever who wants to do it all well.
She’s got a new job and is trying to be an outstanding employee and figure it all out.
But she’s constantly torn. “When should I ask for help?” “When should I do it myself?”
Worried constantly, fearful she’s doing something wrong, she’s in high stress mode 24/7.
Consumed by all the possibilities and what others think of her, she finds herself unable to make decisions.
It’s almost as though she’s paralyzed.
Rather than misstep, most of the time, she does nothing at all.
When it’s time to make a choice, her heart pounds its way out of her chest – it’s harder and harder to breathe.
She can’t even think clearly anymore.
Gradually, a sense of doom overtakes her.
Rachel, on the other hand, can’t get motivated.
Dissatisfied with a dead-end job, unfulfilled in her relationships, she struggles every day.
In fact, she feels hopeless.
She doesn’t enjoy things the way she used to, and everything she can think of to do feels too hard.
She always feels tired and heavy.
When she wants to do something, she frequently stops because of her supposed failures and inadequacies.
“It’s never going to go right anyway, so what’s the point?”
Making friends? That’s off the table.
“No one is going to like me anyway, I’m too boring, fat and ugly.”
Life isn’t going the way she wants; and she thinks it’s her own dang fault.
In fact, she figures she probably deserves this.
If only she were better.
Unfortunately, she feels there’s nothing she can do about it. Trying to live like this is impossible.
Time to break it off – time for some new BFFs. Counseling for anxiety and depression.
