Does your depression make you feel overwhelmed?

In early 2022, The Depression Project posed a question to our 2,000,000+ Instagram followers in one of our “stories”:

Does your depression make you feel overwhelmed?

Over 22,000 people responded, and would you like to know how many of them answered yes?

98%.

And, for this reason, we decided to put together the “Depression Overwhelm” Journal, in order to:

• Help you feel like you’re not alone;
• Help you better understand “depression overwhelm”;
• Share with you a wide variety of strategies to help you overcome “depression overwhelm” – so that you are better able to function, attend to your to-do list and get things done.
  

Here’s A Breakdown Of Exactly What This Journal Will Cover

PART 1: Understanding "Depression Overwhelm"

In the first part of this journal, we’ll share with you a variety of quotes from members of The Depression Project’s community that describe what “depression overwhelm” is like - in order to help you feel like you’re not alone.

Additionally, we’ll also break down the vicious cycle of “depression overwhelm” and avoidance, and explain how avoiding what makes you feel overwhelmed - while extremely common - is almost certain to exacerbate your “depression overwhelm”.

To accompany this section of the journal, we’ll also share with you a handful of journal prompts for you to think about and write out your response to - in order to help you better understand your own patterns of “depression overwhelm”, and the ways in which avoiding what makes you feel overwhelmed is likely making it worse.

PART 2: Overcoming "Depression Overwhelm"

Instead of resorting to avoidance, a much, much more effective method of dealing with “depression overwhelm” is to implement one or more strategies to help you overcome it. And, in the second part of this journal, we’re going to share with you a wide variety of strategies to help you do just that, which we’ve collected by:

• Asking members of The Depression Project’s community: “what helps you overcome “depression overwhelm“ and get things done?”
• Asking therapists: “what can help people with depression overcome “depression overwhelm“ and get things done?”

To accompany these strategies, we’ll also share with you:

• Several examples of these strategies being effectively implemented in practice;
• A handful of journal prompts to help guide you through implementing these strategies yourself - so that you too can overcome “depression overwhelm”, and therefore find it much easier to function, attend to your to-do list and get things done.
