In reply to Depression - how do you tell?, posted by Shortelise on May 17, 2005, at 13:21:15
> I can't quite tell at the moment if I am in a sort of low grade depression.

> Does that happen to anyone else, and if so, what are your signs that you might be depressed.

> My house is a wreck, and I am having a very hard time keeping myself clean. My energy is always low, so that isn't a good gauge. Not crying. I am managing to cook meals (yes, I always wash my hands thoroughly beforehand :-). In the past few days, I have done laundry, ironed, grocery shopped, but haven't been able to get myself to do the monthly financial stuff, which is now late and VERY important.

> I am going to force myself as soon as I finish this note. I am also going to meet a friend for coffee this afternoon at a cafe about a mile from here and I'll walk. Bath, bank, walk. Not too much for one day, I hope. If it is, I'll just prepare the financial stuff and actually do it tomorrow.

> I just wonder if/how others experience this.

> Thanks. I so appreciate that I have people to ask about these things.

> ShortEI hope you are feeling better soon, sounds like you're doing as much as you can, and are prioritizing. I find that exercise keeps me sane. I get to feeling like a trapped animal if I don't. Hope the coffee with a friend is fun.
