In this modern age, we become used to stress, used to feeling over-extended and exhausted. Often times, its a slow fade- we realize it\u2019s been months since we\u2019ve socialized with our closest friends, weeks since we\u2019ve talked to our parents. And \u201cme-time?\u201d Ha, a distant memory. But how do we know when its time to reach out for help from a therapist? What signs do our body and mind give us that let us know we need to seek counseling?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You gain or lose a lot of weight.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You lose your appetite or eat a lot more.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You feel sad or cry a lot and it doesn\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You feel guilty for no reason, like you\u2019re no good, or you lose your confidence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">Life seems meaningless or like nothing good is ever going to happen again. You have a bad attitude often, or it seems like you have no feelings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You don\u2019t feel like doing things you used to enjoy, and you want to be left alone most of the time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You do dangerous things for no good reason.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You aren\u2019t as good at school or work as you used to be.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You\u2019re unhappy with your relationships.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">It\u2019s hard to make up your mind. You forget a lot of things, and it\u2019s difficult to pay attention.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">Little things make you mad, and you over-react.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You start sleeping a lot more or you have trouble falling asleep at night. Or you wake up really early most mornings and can\u2019t get back to sleep.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You feel restless or tired most of the time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\\\"ltr\\\">\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">You think about death or feel like you\u2019re dying. You sometimes think about killing yourself.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\">Do you see yourself in any of the statements above? If so, there is a help- healing is possible! Counseling exists to offer guidance in resolving the personal, social, or psychological challenges that you just can\u2019t beat on your own. Reach out to someone who has knowledge about women\u2019s issues and strength to help you get back to who you want to be. It\u2019s time to live the life you want to live.<\/p>\n<p>(The Office on Women\u2019s Health- <a class=\\\"ui-editor-link-external\\\" href=\\\"http:\\\">www.womenshealth.gov\/mental-health<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\\\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/111505028700675439636?&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;\n   rel=author\u201d&gt;By Melissa Michaud&lt;\/a&gt;.\u00a0Counseling Denver for a better life.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;\u00a0&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;\/div&gt;\n                  &lt;\/div&gt;\n                                    &lt;\/div&gt;\n                &lt;\/div&gt;\n                                  &lt;\/div&gt;\n                  &lt;div class=\\\" clearboth\\\"=\\\"\\\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHow Do I Know When To Ask For Help?\u201d Many of the women entering our practice ask this question.
