I get anxiety and mental trauma with the depression because the things I get depressed about are also traumatizing and anxiety-inducing. I get indigestion, I feel like throwing up, I feel cold and I shake, and some of my hair falls out.

Hi Ana, when I'm worried/stressed I get stomach pains and indigestion, also migraines, muscle tension, sometimes a racing heart, but I think that's more stress than depression in my case anyway. I feel cold too when I'm depressed, and like everything in my body is slowed down, like I'm on the wrong speed if that makes sense. Cold and slow, like I have to drag myself around.

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm the same way. I feel like I've gone into slow motion and separated myself from the real world, like time is passing around me but I'm not really there.
