How do you know when something is more than just a bad mood or a bad day?

Signs might include:

  • Pulling away from everyone

  • Talking like they don’t care what happens

  • Seeming constantly drained or hopeless

  • Suddenly acting very different — more reckless, angry, or silent

  • Saying things like “What’s the point?” or “You’d be better off without me”

If you’re noticing patterns that feel off, trust your gut — you don’t have to be a professional to notice that someone isn’t okay.
