Hidden symptoms of depression that are easy to miss.....

1 You look put together in public, but your living space is messy and you struggle with cleaning & household chores - dishes, laundry etc often end up piling up.

2 Disappearing for days and not texting your loved ones back due to feelings of exhaustion and unworthiness.

3 You might also justify repeatedly isolating yourself to yourself as 'self-care' or convince yourself that people wouldn't want to see you anyway.

4 Smiling and seeming happy when you're socializing and then coming home where the 'mask drops' and you feel empty and depressed again.

5 Feeling cynical and like nothing really matters, and believing that your depressed thoughts are a more accurate reflection of reality than your previous beliefs and experiences.

6 Increased anger and irritability, getting frustrated easily.

7 Frequently putting yourself in risky or dangerous situations without caring about the risks.

8 Changes in personality or behavior, like speaking or moving more slowly.
