You’re exhausted. There’s no end to your “to-do” list, and anxiety begins creeping in. You’re completely paralyzed by procrastination while the smallest decisions immobilize you. You feel like you’re failing in all areas of your life. You try to keep a smile on your face that says, “I’ve got it this,” but it’s fading. You can’t wait to get home where you don’t need to pretend. The depression takes over, and all you want to do is hide from the world. It’s a cycle from which you can’t escape. You’re stuck, but your mind is racing. Nothing is enjoyable anymore. Stop the cycle of isolation. It’s time for some help.
