> I get an apathetic, lethargic type of depression and I feel....just not 'with it' slow. If I am around people (which I avoid) I am out of sync and it is painful. The gears in my head and body feel like they are gummed up. My timing is off. I don't smile at the right time and nothing I say or any bodily gestures feel natural.

Kaye,That is pretty much what I was describing.
For me, In addition to feeling awkward, it's so overwhelmingly awkward that it also VERY difficult to just "appear" like I'm functioning normally.
