It is helpful to share and hear the ways in which you all experience something sort of similar; in moving slowly or attempting to avoid stimulation. I agree, it sounds familiar to the way I hear people describe a migraine.

I looked at some of the definitions to the two words which really stand out to me. The words I looked at were deliberate and careful, how I feel on the days that depression really affects me. It is interesting to see where the definitions go...

Deliberate:

think about carefully; to weigh
thought out in advance
done on purpose; intentional slowness.

Careful:

cautiously attentive, exercising caution, full of cares or anxiety
attentive to potential danger, error or harm
full of care or grief; sorrowful, sad
full of cares or anxiety; worried, troubled
conscientious and painstaking; meticulous
