  • Thoughts of ending your life (like suicidal thoughts or attempts)
  • Sad, empty, or hopeless feelings
  • Worries, nervousness, other uneasy thoughts
  • Withdrawal and isolation (you don’t want to be with friends, engage in activities, or leave home)
  • Lack of interest in things you used to enjoy
  • Lack of energy or change in energy levels
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Trouble sleeping (like difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, oversleeping, or daytime sleepiness)
  • Weight loss, loss of appetite due to emotional concerns
  • Increased use of alcohol or other drugs
  • Suffering from or grieving from a loss of a loved one, relationship, or friend
