Depressed but without the low mood?

[Glitterkitten24]

When my Dc2 was born, I suffered Post party’s depression- i had no idea before then what depression really was or how debilitating it could be. This was over 3 years ago now- I took my Citraloptam (?), eventually felt better and came off the tablets.

Since Christmas, I have been feeling sluggish, unmotivated, empty again. I don’t feel depressed, my mood isn’t low, I can enjoy my family and spending time with them and all sorts.

But I cannot be bothered with anything, and that’s not me at all.
I didn’t make new year resolutions when I normally love setting goals.
I’ve had three childfreee days this week where I have had uni work to complete and I can’t motivate myself to do it- I’ve sat on my arse, staring into space for large potions of my precious time. I’d be angry at myself if only I had enough energy to be angry.

Does this sound like depression again even though it’s so different to my last experience?
Or could there be another reason I am feeling so low in energy?

Didn’t want to read this and run. Yes depression very much can be like that, it doesn’t always come with the ‘depression’ part of that makes sense, it can just come with that feeling of emptiness, almost like your floating or not taking part or wanting to take part in the things around you. I would book an appointment with your GP and they’ll refer you for some therapy, if it’s gone by then imthats great but it can be a long wait so it’s worth doing. Plus sometimes it’s nice to open up to someone, you might start speaking to the GP and realise when it’s said out loud there’s a bit more going on than you thought. It’s so hard this time of year. I find excercise helps eventhough it is SO hard! Maybe force yourself to do a stint at the gym or some meditation and see what helps you x I hope you feel better soon x you will I promise

Thanks @widget123 I appreciate you taking the time to reply!

After reading over my post I do think I will need to book to doctors for a blood test/ appointment.
