I feel tired and lethargic. I am dragging myself around, and probably wouldn't bother if not for my children.
I don't want to talk to my friends or go anywhere, and feel like getting back into bed and pulling the covers over my head.
When I'm on the border of depression I can fake cheeriness and get through my day "normally," but when I'm overcome with depression I don't even have the energy or resources to do that.
Last night I forced myself to meet some friends and they immediately asked me what was wrong -- and I'd been trying to put on a good face.
I know that I've crossed over into a real depression the last couple of days, and want to battle it and not get sucked into its spiral.
