Hey, vj! June, wow. I think it's worth mentioning. Especially when you don't get to see him much, it would seem appropriate to apprise him of whatever state you find yourself in at the time, you know? Have you tried to figure out in what particular way you feel "off"? Any other things it tends to be associated with? (I guess I'm getting at a mood charting sort of thing where you see if there are patterns.)

I'm not much of a fan of the online quizzes. Personally, unless I was feeling pretty damn good, it'd probably indicate depression. (Maybe so much time there over sooo many years and the results thereof have affected how I perceive things in general???) I DO think that it can be hard to recognize milder depression when you've battled your way through the really bad ones. Kind of an, "Oh, pffft, this is nothing." And in relation, it may well be, but that doesn't mean it's not worth attending to.

I tend to blow it off till it gets really bad (just ask my psych ). This is not recommended! On the other hand, beware of over-thinking. Analyzing every nuance is crazy-making, imo. Pretty good is pretty good and just keep an eye on it Better yet if you can get another set of trustworthy eyes on it. For example, I may be the one living it, but it's not unusual for my BF to perceive shifts earlier.
