“Lately, I've been feeling really down,
and I can't figure out why. My classes are great, I like my friends,
and I'm healthy. But I just feel really depressed, and some days it's
near impossible to get out of bed. So many people around me have such
difficult lives, and yet they are fully functional and happy. I feel so
guilty that I feel depressed when I have no reason to be unhappy. This
guilt only makes it worse. Could talking to someone at SCRS help me
figure out why I feel the way I do?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- help you sort out what is getting you down
- help you to understand that one's emotions aren't always rational, and that letting go of guilt might help to lessen your feelings of depression
