Low Mood & Self-Esteem

Why can't I enjoy the things that I used to love?

If you’ve been feeling down for a while, it can be tough to tell whether it’s just a bad day or something more. When you’re dealing with low mood or low self-esteem, it can affect how you see yourself and the world around you. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle where you’re your own harshest critic, and everything feels off. Self-isolation can creep in too, maybe your inner monologue has bullied you all day to the point where you’re too drained to socialize.

Or maybe you just don’t see the point of socializing when you’re in this mental state. Maybe nothing sounds enjoyable except lying in bed, or you’re feeling exhausted, or worse, numb. It can be a terrifying and isolating experience, and if anything, I hope this paragraph helps you feel like you’re not alone.
