Are we heading into a recession?

I currently sit in a leveraged lending team at BB. It has came to my attention that more companies in my portfolio are going into bankruptcy or heading into a bankruptcy. Many of them are highly leveraged so it's not uncommon to see companies struggle, however as more and more are on the edge of bankruptcy, is it just a company specific issue or do people on the forum are also seeing signals of a possible market recession?
