Why Am I feeling like this intro

10/30/2020

 
ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
You might be wondering why one book would try to deal with both anxiety and depression. Aren’t they different problems? While there are differences, many experts now view them as two sides to the same coin, or two faces of one basic problem. Yes, someone can be depressed but not anxious, or anxious without being depressed, but about half of all teens who have one also have the other to some degree. As anxiety is more common than depression for teens, and it usually comes before depression, the primary focus of these videos and the stories presented will be on anxiety. However, as we will see, many of the keys work for both anxiety and depression.

TURNING THE KEY
It's helpful to honestly identify your thoughts and feelings and put a label on them. You might want to print this page and circle those words that may describe how anxious you are:

Stressed     Afraid     Edgy     Panicky     Freaked Out     Angsty     Nervous     Shaky

Nauseated     Apprehensive     Fidgety     Desperate     Worried

Circle some of the words that describe your state of depression:

Sad     Lonely     Empty     Hopeless     Failure     Gloomy     Suicidal     Painful     Exhausted

SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION: Psalm 94:19, NIV
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”
