Depression and anxiety are common nowadays. There is no shame in feeling this way. In your day-to-day life, you have to balance work, money, relationships, your dreams, your health, sleep etc. It would make anyone not feel their best. Talking about your troubles with a licensed clinician who listens, empathizes, and challenges is often the thing you need to get you back on the right path or to find a new one.
