Depression isn’t just sadness. It’s not just a “bad day” or something you can shake off with fresh air and a smoothie. Depression can feel like walking through wet cement, wearing a mask for the world while feeling nothing—or everything—inside.

At Peace & Calm Counseling, we want to say this clearly:
Depression is real. It’s valid. And it’s not your fault.

Let’s talk about what depression really looks like, how it affects daily life, and how healing is possible—even when hope feels far away.
