Am I depressed?

I don't necessarily feel sad. Nor do I feel content and happy.

But I have no energy to do anything. The simplest of task I will avoid. Replying to messages, booking a train ticket, work activities like submitting an expense form. All of these things I just physically can't do. I will put them off and then my anxiety builds up so much that I can't bear to even look at the
Simple text message from a good friend that I need to reply to. My anxiety then snowballs and I lay in bed at night crippled with
Guilt and shame and panic over said text, expense form, MOT booking.

What could help me change this vicious cycle.

Hi OP. Well, this is me too! It’s pretty shit. I went on antidepressants for a while which did help but came off them due to side effects.

It’s a miserable way to live though. Do you feel better once you make yourself do the expenses, reply to messages etc?
