Sometimes big things can set us back, or a succession of small things. Perhaps your life is just not the life you want it to be.  The things you thought you wanted, didn't turn out the way you'd hoped. Or unexpected and unwelcome change has got you down.  Or you can just feel stuck - feel no direction, no motivation and no

goals.

 

Depression and anxiety can take away satIsfaction or enjoyment in life, and efforts to fix it by avoiding or shutting out the very things that you value like friends, family and patterns or favourite pastimes, can make it worse.

Asking for help doesn't always come easily. But speaking with a psychologist can help you to get a different perspective, provide you with skills to deal with difficult feelings, or respond in a more constructive way to negative thoughts. These are all steps that can contribute towards more life satisfaction.
