Low mood, or depression, can cause you to lose interest and enjoyments in activities that you once loved. It affects people in very different ways, often changing how they behave or feel about themselves. Some people who experience low mood are still able to go about their daily lives, however for others who experience this to a greater extent, it can make simple daily tasks extremely difficult.
If you are experiencing low mood, it may impact your daily life. You may find you struggle with school work, it may affect your relationships with peers and family or stop you from doing activities you enjoy and this can become an added pressure on to you.
It might feel hard to explain how you are feeling to others, you may isolate yourself. This could worsen your low mood and encourage feelings of isolation and loneliness. There are many ways of opening up the conversation about how you are feeling, but if you aren’t ready to tell someone close to you there are people you can talk to anonymously and confidentially about how you are feeling.
