You wake up tired. You carry a weight in your chest that never really goes away. Getting out of bed feels like a win—but even then, the day stretches in front of you like something to survive, not live.
Everything feels heavy. Even the things that used to bring joy.
If that sounds familiar, it’s not just burnout. It’s not laziness. And it’s definitely not your fault. Depression changes how we experience the world—but with the right support, it doesn’t have to stay this way.
At Lime Tree Counseling, we see you. We understand how hard it is to ask for help, especially when even simple tasks feel overwhelming. But there’s hope—and we’re here to walk with you.
Depression Doesn’t Always Look How You Expect
Depression isn’t always lying in bed all day or crying nonstop.
Sometimes it’s going to work, smiling at people, getting things done—and still feeling empty inside. Sometimes it’s irritability, zoning out, or feeling disconnected from people you love.
Other times it looks like:
-
Saying “I’m fine” when you’re not
-
Avoiding texts because you just can’t deal
-
Having no motivation but still forcing yourself to function
-
Feeling guilt for not “being more grateful”
-
Thinking, What’s wrong with me?
If that’s you, know this: There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re carrying more than your brain and body were meant to handle alone. Depression therapy can help you unload it.
Why Does Everything Feel So Hard?
Depression changes how your brain processes energy, decision-making, and even hope. It’s not just in your head—it’s in your body too.
You may notice:
-
Everything feels like a chore—even things you used to enjoy
-
You need more sleep but still feel exhausted
-
Food tastes bland, and nothing sounds good
-
You can’t focus
-
You feel numb, like you’re going through the motions
At Lime Tree Counseling, we help people unpack the root causes of depression—not just slap on coping skills. Maybe it’s unresolved grief, burnout, childhood wounds, or the weight of never feeling good enough. Whatever it is, it deserves care.
You’re Allowed to Ask for Help
We know it’s not easy to reach out. Maybe you’ve been the strong one for everyone else. Maybe you’re worried your story isn’t “bad enough” to need therapy. Or maybe you’re scared that if you start talking, you’ll fall apart.
But what if falling apart a little bit is exactly what you need to begin feeling whole again?
Our counselors offer a safe, non-judgmental space to:
-
Name what’s weighing you down
-
Understand the impact of past and present stress
-
Learn practical strategies to manage emotions
-
Find relief from self-criticism and hopelessness
-
Reconnect with your values, relationships, and energy
If your faith is important to you, we also offer Christian counseling that integrates psychological care with biblical truth and compassion.
