Depression may show up in a variety of different ways for you; you may notice that you are feeling deeply sad, lonely, and alone. You may also be noticing that you are lacking in energy, inspiration, and motivation.

More often than not there is a reason for your depression, even when you are not consciously aware of it.

Often ignoring your emotions can intensify your feelings of depression.
