I'm trying to understand my depression issues. I have difficulty communicating my feelings, especially when I'm down and in a funk. I internalize things so when my loved one ask me how I'm feeling I just say "fine" when I'm not really fine. I'm going to discuss this with my T next week.

Is internalizing or withdrawing symptomatic of depression. This may sound like a silly question but I'm trying to get a handle on triggers and symptoms so I can recognize them and tell my wife or friends my true state of mind.

Thanks
