“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
Depression is more than sadness, it can affect every part of a person’s life, from how they think to how they move through the day.
Things to look for:
• Loss of interest in things once enjoyed
• Persistent low mood
• Feeling hopeless or helpless
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Sleeping too much or too little
• Withdrawal from others
• Fatigue or low energy
• Thoughts of self-harm or su***de
Check in with those around you. Sometimes the strongest people are the ones silently struggling.

“That happened years ago, I should be over it by now.”
PTSD doesn’t follow a timeline, and it can affect anyone who’s experienced trauma - from car accidents to violence, natural disasters, or abuse.
Here are some signs to look out for:
• Flashbacks or intrusive memories
• Avoidance of reminders (places, people, situations)
• Nightmares or disturbed sleep
• Feeling constantly on edge or jumpy
• Irritability or angry outbursts
• Emotional numbness
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Help is available, and healing is possible.

“I can stop whenever I want.”
Addiction isn’t a lack of willpower, it’s a complex condition that changes the brain, and it can affect anyone.
Warning signs may include:
• Using substances to cope with stress or emotions
• Needing more to feel the same effect
• Hiding use from others
• Neglecting responsibilities
• Changes in mood, sleep, or physical appearance
• Trouble stopping even when wanting to
Recovery is possible, and help is within reach.
