I don’t particularly want to cry but I just want to lie down in bed and not do anything. Is this depression?
My depression(?) often feels like being tired, fwiw.
@farah yes. But it's also a realistic reaction to life in the US so...
@farah If there doesn't seem to be anything much going on emotionally that might be behind this, then I'd say it sounds like me when I haven't eaten enough.
Could be. Depression is not about crying. Or even sadness, necessarily.
@farah Well, it could be depression, but it’s hard to say. Answer might depend on many factors, including weather, recent intake of national news, ickiness of items on your to do list, how recently eaten foods are being assimilated, emotional intensity of recent interactions with others, and possibly what’s supposed to happen for dinner and who’s going to make it.
You’re resilient and wise. If a little lie down is in order, I wouldn’t worry too much. I hope you’re feeling refreshed soon. 🙂
@farah that is suspiciously depression-coded
