When days blend together and nothing feels meaningful, it might be time to pause and check in with how you’re really doing.
Explore signs of emotional numbness
Depression can sometimes feel like a quiet kind of heaviness — not overwhelming sadness, but the absence of energy, direction, or emotional connection. You might find yourself going through the motions, unsure why everything feels so distant. These experiences are more common than they seem and can be hard to talk about. A self-assessment isn’t a diagnosis, but it may help you recognize shifts in mood, thought patterns, or motivation. Taking a few minutes to reflect can be a gentle first step toward regaining clarity and supporting your emotional wellbeing.
