Understanding Depression: More Than Just Sadness
Depression isn’t simply feeling low or down—it’s a deep emotional struggle that can affect every part of life. You may feel persistently sad, drained, anxious, or disconnected from others. Even joyful moments may feel muted or unreachable. It’s not uncommon to lose interest in things you once enjoyed or find it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
As psychologist Dorothy Rowe wisely put it, “Depression is a prison where you are both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer.” But with the right support, that prison can be unlocked.

Understand your emotional world and what triggers your low moods.
-
Develop healthier thinking patterns and learn how to manage hopelessness or self-criticism.

“I didn’t recognise myself anymore. Therapy helped me find a way back.”
— Anna, a client at Eleos Counselling
“When I first came to Eleos, I felt numb. Everything felt heavy—getting out of bed, answering texts, even smiling. I wasn’t sure if talking would help, but I knew I couldn’t keep going like this.
In therapy, I didn’t have to pretend. My therapist didn’t rush me or try to fix me. They just listened—and slowly, I started to listen to myself too.
We explored the sadness underneath the surface, the self-doubt, the pressure I’d been carrying for years. I began to understand my patterns instead of judging them.
It wasn’t about snapping out of it. It was about gently finding my way through.
I’m not saying everything’s perfect now. But I feel lighter. More grounded. I laugh again. I’m starting to feel like me.”
