Gemini is one of the zodiac signs that's most prone to anxiety (via Bustle). "Due to their speedy can-do attitude and their natural tendency to overthink matters ... [Geminis may get] overwhelmed, which can cause anxiety issues," astrologist Lisa Stardust told the outlet. "Also, Gemini is a mutable sign — they take on the energy of others."
Geminis can also experience depression, just like everyone else. However, a Gemini's depression may go unnoticed by friends and family because they cope with these painful feelings by turning to humor and staying busy in an effort to distract themselves (via LiveAbout).
Instead of seeking help, Geminis often convince themselves that they can cure their own depression or mental health struggles by thinking their way out of a dark place (via LiveAbout).
It's important to remember that, if feelings of depression or anxiety persist, there's no shame at all in seeking help. Give yourself permission to lean on a friend and make an appointment with a therapist so you can get to the bottom of what's causing your anxiety or depression and address it.
