I was actually going to suggest that you thump a pillow, if that would help.
And cuddle your wonderful DP.

It is, I can only imagine how how awful you are feeling. It's a cruel time of year for depression.

If you're off work, has your gp recommended you for counselling or physical therapy? Being at home alone works for some; for others of makes them feel lonely and isolated.

Please don't give yourself a hard time for how you cope! I bet your DP is relieved you don't shout and smash things..

Sorry not to be more helpful, just wanted to say you're not alone.

I'm off work. again. with depression. again. I'm terrified of losing my job. again. I'm in debt and even though I have a wonderful DP I just feel so bloody lonely. I'm also turning into a grumpy critical moo and I wish I was less quiet and passive about depression. I wish I could just go and smash something or shout and scream and cry. But instead I'm just here feeling very small, tearful and lost.

I don't even know if writing this will help but being awake when the whole city is asleep is just so isolating.
