Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 Americans suffer from mental illness every year? Simply put, you are not alone. And if you’re having trouble just doing everyday tasks, or find yourself going down a path that scares you, it may be time to seek some professional help.

There are many signs you need therapy, some of which are more common than others. In this article, we’ll detail 7 of the most common signs that you may need to seek help.

1. You No Longer Enjoy the Things You Love

You no longer have the same passion for the things that you love that you once did. Even the little things in life that you found enjoyable, like eating a certain meal on Fridays or spending time with a work friend during lunch, aren’t exciting anymore.

2. You’ve Increased Your Substance Use

The amount of substances that you use has increased. You know this because you’ve found yourself spending more money on them as of late, whether it be alcohol or other intoxicating substance.

This is a dangerous slope that can quickly turn deadly if you don’t get out in front of it and tackle it head-on. If you’re ready to get help and want to find out more about how to do so, there are places willing to lend a hand.

3. Eating Seems Like Hard Work

No matter what’s on the menu, eating feels like a chore. Nothing sounds appetizing, and when you do finally eat, the food lacks taste or flavor.

4. You Can’t Sleep Even When You’re Tired

You went to bed late last night, woke up early this morning, and have been tired all day. But once it’s time to lay your head down again, you’re wide awake and you can’t shut your brain off.

5. Your Self-Image is Bad

Every day, you look in the mirror and aren’t happy with the person you see. Or, no matter how much you accomplish in life, including your successes at work or at home, you never have a sense of pride.

6. You’ve Isolated Yourself from Your Friends and Family

The idea of seeing close friends and relatives isn’t appealing to you anymore, and in fact, sounds like the worst possible scenario you could be in at the moment.

The idea of being home, and alone, is much more tempting than spending time with the people closest to you.

7. It’s Hard to Get Out of Bed Every Day

Your mental health issues have led to you lacking the energy needed to even get out of bed.

Regardless of what’s on your calendar for the day, the idea of getting out of bed at all is almost too much to overcome. The amount of energy and willpower it takes to just get up and get dressed is exhausting.

Be Conscious of the Signs You Need Therapy

If you can relate to any one of these 7 signs you need therapy, it’s time to reach out to a professional and get the help you deserve.

Remember, you’re not alone, and it’s much easier to get healthier with help from a therapist.
