I agree with Janelle's post wholeheartedly about the environmental vs. biological. I used to call the worst of my symptoms 'depression', but I always cry hysterically and feel super sensitive and attuned to horrible negative world events and get frequent panic attacks. High stress will usually be the catalyst, but it's in my bio code. I've come to realize that I have a high anxiety component to the depression. 'Depression' has become such a catch-all term for the many varieties of neuro dysfunction. The anxiety kind needs to be given a different name cause it's so different from the anergic kind.

I also get the typical depression episodes where everything feels like moving through sludge and I lay the couch and feel dreary and empty. About the only emotion I can come up with is beating myself up about what a slug and failure I am. It's definitely different from the sobbing/axiety type. I'll tell you what, though, I'll take the slug kind over the wailing terrified kind any day.
