Many people say they are “stressed.” Stress can be a short push that goes away. But sometimes stress is not short-term. When pressure keeps coming, it can turn into depression. We look at how the world around you can change how you feel. We also explain how Healizm helps people in Brooklyn find hope and care.
What Are Environmental Pressures?
Environmental pressures are the hard things around us. These can be noisy homes, long work hours, money problems, bad housing, or being mistreated. They can also be things like being alone, moving to a new place, or losing a job. These pressures add up. When they do, your mind and body feel tired all the time.
How Pressure Can Lead to Depression
When pressure keeps coming, your mind works too hard. You may start to feel sad for many days. You may stop doing things you like. Sleep can change. Food can change. You may feel tired even after sleeping. These are signs that stress may be turning into depression.
Pressure can make you feel small or stuck. You may think you are to blame. You may feel alone. That feeling can make it hard to ask for help. Over time, these feelings can grow into deep sadness and loss of interest. This is depression.
Common Signs to Watch For
Watch for these simple signs:
- You feel sad most days.
- You do not want to play or do your usual things.
- You either sleep excessively or insufficiently.
- You either overeat or don’t eat enough.
- You feel tired a lot.
- You feel bad about yourself.
- You think about hurting yourself. If so, get help right away.
If you see some of these signs for two weeks or more, talk to someone you trust or a health worker.
