Depression is the feeling that life is painful and hopeless. Anxiety is the looming belief that circumstances will imminently become painful and hopeless. Whether depressed, anxious, or both, these people feel pressure from stressors that are inflated or perhaps not even there at all. These anxious and/or depressed people will be burdened much of their lives simply because they perceive stressors as more of a threat than they really are. One important lesson emerges from such an illustration: Often our perception of the stressor damages us more than the stressor itself.
