Some mornings, you wake up and feel… nothing.
Not sadness. Not peace. Just a dull heaviness — like your body is moving, but your spirit is somewhere far behind.
You’re functioning. You’re working. You’re doing what needs to be done.
But you don’t feel like you anymore.
You’re not sure when it started.
Maybe it was after something ended — a relationship, a job, a sense of safety.
Maybe it was after nothing in particular… just a slow unraveling you didn’t notice until the silence inside got too loud.
And now, you find yourself wondering:
“What happened to me?”
“Why don’t I care like I used to?”
“Will this fog ever lift?”
This is what depression can look like — not always dramatic or loud, but quiet and invisible.
It convinces you that you're not trying hard enough.
That you're lazy. That you're ungrateful. That you're weak.
But you are none of those things.
You're someone who's been carrying too much, for too long, without a place to set it down.
Therapy is not about forcing yourself to “get over it.”
It’s about understanding what made you disconnect in the first place.
It’s about slowly finding your way back — not to who you were, but to who you're allowed to become now.
And no, you don’t need a “good enough reason” to feel this way.
Pain doesn’t need proof. Your experience is valid just as it is.
If you’ve forgotten what it feels like to be fully alive, you’re not broken — just buried.
And you don’t have to dig your way out alone.
I offer free 20-minute zoom call — a space to begin, even if you don’t have the words yet.
If this feels familiar, this might be your first step back to yourself.
