That describes much of my own experience of depression.

Sometimes well-meaning people tell the depressed to "stop feeling sorry for themselves." I'm not sure that phrase describes depression at all, but in my case if I were to consciously feel sorry for myself it would be a definite step up from the nothingness that has strangled my will and emotions.

Please keep posting, Missy_H.
