 HOW DEPRESSION AFFECTS YOUR LIFE EVERY SINGLE DAY.

• It affects your physical well-being, resulting in chronic fatigue, sleep problems, and changes in appetite.
• It prevents you from enjoying and living your life to the fullest 
• You've lost interest in sex or even physical affection 
• It affects your mood, with feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness and dysphoria.
• Your place is a mess; laundry and dishes are piled up, mail is unopened, etc. 
• We no longer have the same energy and enthusiasm in our relationships. 
• You've been making excuses to friends why you can't get together with them, or you're telling them you're "just too tired." 
• We often prefer to stay home rather than go out, be alone rather than share and talk. We push others away. 
• We become very self focussed and sensitive, easily offended, and quick to snap. 
• As our relationships start to break down, we blame ourselves. We feel worthless, believing that no-one would want to be with us because we don't want to be with ourselves. We push people away and then feel worse because we are alone. 
• It takes you a whole weekend to do chores that used to only occupy a morning. 
• You've really let yourself go - you're wearing clothes that make you look dumpy, you've stopped exercising, you're not shaving unless it's absolutely necessary.
• It affects the way you think, interfering with concentration and decision making. 
• You miss out on the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky, the universe, and cats & dogs.
• You're drinking or using drugs to escape the pain. 
• it affects your behavior, with increased irritability and loss of temper, social withdrawal, and a reduction in your desire to engage in pleasurable activities. 
• You lose things, you lose track of things and can't always remember what day it is. 
• You've pretty much stopped eating, or caring what you eat and whether it tastes good. 
• On the flip side, you may be eating all the time because you're bored and hope that food will somehow satisfy the vacant feeling you have. 
• Sleeping difficulties have started creeping in - either difficulty sleeping, erratic sleeping patterns or difficulty staying awake.
