Loneliness is often a word that is overlooked. In my experience, people will self-diagnose themselves as being depressed when what they are is lonely. Depression is a clinical mental health mood disorder that should not be taken likely yet the word is used very flippantly and many do not realize what they are actually saying when they say they have it.
Loneliness is different. What does loneliness feel like? Some would say even in a room full of people they feel totally alone. Others might say they don't have anyone in which they can trust their deep feelings. Yet others might say it feels like no one really cares. With the onslaught of social media connections, you might wonder why anyone would feel lonely.

We all suffer from sadness and grief from time to time, but they usually go away within a few days. However, major depression is something far more serious. People who are battling with this condition experience an overwhelming sadness and usually lose interest in things they used to enjoy. In worst cases, people who are experiencing depression feel that life is not worth living.
While it is normal to feel anxious before a big event or when faced with a threatening situation, some people can't help but feel overwhelmed with the feeling.
When your everyday anxiety crosses the line and turns into a disorder, you may experience a variety of symptoms (panic attacks, social phobia, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, stress, nervousness and fear) that may make it difficult for you to maintain your physical and emotional stability.It may even prevent you from achieving your full potential at work, in school and/or in your personal life.

For some, work-life balance may just be another elusive dream. With the advancements in communication technologies, most people find it difficult to establish boundaries between their work and their personal life. Sadly, the advent of the "always on" lifestyle has forever blurred the boundaries between work and personal/family life.
