Out-of-place depression in the early part of the day

Post Reply New Topic

I have had a real strong downer feeling appearing in the early part of the day in the past few days. During these periods, I become much quieter and clumsier, and if I must talk to people I struggle to say anything louder than a very quiet voice that is difficult for people to hear, and saying stuff to people becomes a real effort. Generally, by the evening, I seem to get better.

I've also had something of a low appetite the past few days.

Despite this, I am in the middle of relocating and have been proceeding apace. Perhaps the stress of relocating has been getting to me?

There's something, too, about this depression. It's hard to describe, but it feels different from if I'm just normally sad or pessimistic. There is a kind of deadening, like I have been scooped out from the inside. My thinking becomes very negative, but it lacks the sheer feeling of hell and anxiety I get as a side effect sometimes of Seroquel; everything is simply bad, but I don't really care, either--with the Seroquel side effect, I would care.

Is this what they call melancholy?

EDIT: My sleep remains normal and I continue to do my daily activities. I'm still able to get myself moving, though I seem to be more clumsy, especially early in the day.
