I’m depressed and anxious

You notice you’re out of dish soap. And suddenly you’re snapping at people or crying alone in your bedroom.

You’re just not happy.  And you’re balancing way too many things.

Even though you want to do things that you know will make you happy or make you feel better. You just can’t seem to get yourself to do them.

When it comes time for sleep, your brain still won’t shut up about everything you didn’t do today. Or that conversation you have to have tomorrow.

When it’s not thinking about real problems in your life, it’s making up things you should worry about.  Like a killer in your neighborhood who might figure out how to open your patio door. Or what you need to do if your car goes off the bridge you’re driving over.

You can’t focus on anything. No matter how important it is.

You’re starting to worry that things will never get better. You cry sometimes… or all of the time. Sometimes, you even have panic attacks.

Maybe you’ve tried medications, but you don’t want to increase your dose or add another one. Or maybe you’re trying to avoid having to take medications just to get yourself to do adulting things. Like chores, going to the doctor or dentist, or getting more movement than walking from the couch to the refrigerator.

At first you try to distract yourself.

When that doesn’t work, you shut down or check out.

Eventually, you start to think that you just don’t want to exist anymore. It’s not that you want to die or be dead. It’s just that existing feels too hard and you just don’t want to do it.

You try to focus on the positives and be grateful for what you do have, but even that isn’t enough.

Why do I mix depression symptoms and symptoms of anxiety?

I find that my clients are rarely just depressed or just anxious. You may be more anxious or more depressed. But you probably have symptoms of both.

You might flip flop between the two. I find that they often feed off each other.

Talking to people sounds like too much work, so you just don’t do it (feeling depressed). Then you worry about ending up alone (symptom of anxiety).

You overthink everything (symptom of anxiety). This is super draining so then you have absolutely no motivation (feeling depressed).

The most commonly prescribed antidepressants and anxiety medicine actually help both anxiety and depression.

Online therapy for anxiety in Colorado and online depression therapy in Colorado

Therapy for depression online is just as effective as in person counseling for depression. Online anxiety therapy is just as effective as in person anxiety therapy. CBT for anxiety and CBT for depression are the same online as in person. And we can adapt somatic therapy and sound therapy to online so they still help you feel less anxious or depressed.

Online counseling can be better than in person. Motivating yourself to go to an office can be tough when you’re depressed. There are fewer things to worry about when you don’t have to commute, see people in the waiting room, or potentially be exposed to germs. And you can be at home with your kids in case of an emergency.

You can do online therapy in Colorado with a depression and anxiety therapist. Whether you live in Denver, Littleton, Englewood, or Aurora.
