This has probably been asked a hundred times, but how do you know if its depression that is roaring her ugly head?

I suffer from anxiety and ocd...I am also a recovering benzo addict and alcoholic....so I suffer from some stuff...but this is new to me.

I don't want to do ANYTHING. I don't want to get out of bed, talk on the phone, shower, brush my teeth, go to work...blah blah blah....I don't want to go out and have fun or even swim in my pool. I was on vacation last week and spent most of it in my bed or on the couch with no tv on...and I have a beautiful pool outside and the weather was awesome.
I am getting up and doing everything, because I have to. But when my husband is not around, I do nothing.

I know the fact that I do get up and make it to work, and live my day means its not that bad. But I am scared its going to get worse. I have been blaming it on a med I take for anxiety...risperdal...but I think thats just an excuse. I will talk to my T next week. I have mentioned no energy before, but then it got worse.

Thanks for letting me vent.
