The low mood and hopelessness is a giveaway for depression though.
Well last night I slept 'only' 10 hours and so far ave managed to keep myself out of bed. I am showered and dressed and about to turn on some music and dance to try and shake away the tiredness. My mood is a little better today but i am still pretty low. Despite that I am going to do all I can to have a great, productive day and try climb out of the depression without more meds. I only recently came out of a long depression with cycles of dysphoric mania mixed in and that was hell. In the end I needed ECT to pull me out and it worked instantly. I rapid cycle and have mixed states so pretty much anything can happen. Thankfully this is much milder than what I went through earlier this year, I am just wanting to avoid it happening again.
Thanks again for everyone's replies! It means a great deal

Sorry to hear you're struggling! For the mixed dysphoric mania, I'd consider having your doc switch you from Prozac to Nefazodone...it is incredible for depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, it's also weight neutral and doesn't cause sexual dysfunction and is generic! Good luck!!
