Do you ever feel trapped by the day’s tasks and doubt your ability to make it through them? Do you feel like you’re just going through the motions while being weighed down in the process?
Perhaps you find yourself saying, “I’m tired” a lot as an excuse for your low mood or become quiet because you don’t have the energy to talk. Have you been told to “snap out of it” or that depression is an excuse or something one “chooses” to get? Maybe you find yourself using your phone excessively because – let’s face it – sometimes it’s easier to hide our struggles online. Are you, or your partner(s) ready for change?
Depression isn’t always at 3am when you’re alone with your thoughts. Sometimes it’s at 3pm when you’re surrounded by friends in the middle of laughing, or keeping conversations at “surface level” because you’re scared anything deeper will reveal how you really feel.
Anxiety isn’t always just feeling nervous. Sometimes it’s not trusting yourself and your surroundings – feeling completely out of control; overthinking everything (the past, a recent conversation, the future, etc.); or having the “logical” side of your brain tied up and having your “emotional” side take over and run free, destroying everything.
Depression and anxiety aren’t always how they look in the media. They are often invisible, yet real illnesses with symptoms that can cause significant disruption to one’s day-to-day living. They are unpredictable and can impact EVERYthing.
You are not alone.
You are worthy.
If you are seeking to be seen, heard, and valued all for being uniquely you – you are in the right place! At The Tattooed Therapist, you are encouraged to show up as you are, without judgement. I believe that when we authentically connect to ourselves, we connect to that which is beyond ourselves. I work with clients struggling with anxiety and depression and specialize in grief and loss, PTSD, and intergenerational family trauma. As an allied LGBTQ+ therapist, I also work with a variety of couples and relationship dynamics, including polyamory.
