I'm experiencing something I am not sure is depression, if it's biological or psychological, or situational, or just a truly sucky life. I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out where I really am, so that I can discuss it with my T and pdoc and work on what to do about it.
I've got a feeling as though I want to sit here and cry, but it seems like too much trouble. In fact, it seems as though it would be too much trouble to finish a thought, let alone experience an emotion. I have things to do, but can't manage to get myself moving to do them. Nothing seems to be enjoyable. I don't want to talk to anyone -- sorry, GG, I will return your call -- or keep up with emails -- there are one or two on my list who are getting responses, but mostly I'm ignoring everyone. Speaking seems like too much trouble. Leave the house? HA! Yeah, right...
I can't tell if this is actually depression, though? Or if it's something else? I know some of the apathy is from Prozac, and I know I've got some situational things going on which are leaving me kinda miserable and maybe adding to that flat feeling, but I can't tell what's biological and has to be addressed in part through drugs, which is psychological and should be addressed by therapy, and which is behavioral and just requires me to get off my fat, lazy behind.
So, can anyone offer any insight? Any questions to ask myself to see where I might lay on the emphasis?
Thanks.
