This is my first post. I wondered if anybody would mind describing what depression is like for them, particularly if it is more on the mild side? How does it feel, how does it affect you, how does it affect your behaviour and relationships?
I wonder if I have depression. If I do, it is mild, and I have been affected by it for a long time. I think my GP suspects it too, as she often asks about my mood. For a bit of background, I have a chronic illness which makes life difficult for me and has limited my life a lot for a long time. This obviously affects my mood and behaviour. And also I have a past history of family problems and am NC with a few members of my family which of course has affected me greatly.
I have read lists of symptoms of depression, but I struggle to know if I fit into the description or not. I read a post on here earlier about how helpful AD can be, and I found myself crying. It obviously hit a nerve. I wonder if I have actually been depressed mildly for a long time, and things that I thought were just me are actually symptoms/signs of depression.
Any experience from others would be much appreciated. Thank you.
