JEHR Every time I'm depressed I feel the same way. I force myself to continue with the day to day of life, but it feels like a struggle. When I'm not depressed I no longer feel that way and I can just "be in the moment".

I agree with what Gus posted about being in the moment, but for me if I'm depressed (chemical and not situational) "being in the moment" gets me stuck in the depression and I find I stay in that phase longer. This has been my experience.
