Most people feel miserable now and then, most often when something upsetting or stressful is happening such as redundancy or a relationship break-up. Feeling depressed in response to a difficult situation is appropriate and normal. Usually the feelings diminish over time.

Generalised anxiety is when a person is prone to constant tension and worry. Sometimes we can attach this fear and distress to things going on in our lives and sometimes we cannot. Most often the anxiety is an overreaction to reality but we fail to perceive it as such or even if we do realise this we cannot stop it anyway.

​

Anger is a natural and necessary human emotion. Of all of the emotions we experience, healthy anger is often the one that powers us up to make constructive change including such as setting clear boundaries with others, discovering our sense of self value, developing new behaviours and speaking up for ourselves in new ways.
