I've admitted to feeling depressed just once in my life, despite very many awful experiences as a result of being in an abusive relationship where regular suicide 'attempts' were part of the manipulation. Despite the fact that my ex partner spent months in hopsital when we had our first baby less than 6 months old because of his illness. Despite the fact that I spent the first almost 6 months of this year in a Women's Refuge.
But today I feel depressed. I have not been able to smile or laugh and can't even manage social pleasantries with any conviction. Can't eat and feel sick and lethargic.
I've mostly stopped crying today. I don't recognise these feelings. I don't have the panic or anxiety I've felt in the past when ;life has gotten out of my control so this isn't the kind of grief I'm familiar with.
I feel a bit numb really.
Anyone care to share their experiences?
