Yes. And sorry to hear about you feeling like you don't recognize yourself. Besides extreme fatigue, which I'm managing to find improvement about, the loss of interest or pleasure is to me the worst part of depression. (That doesn't include those more extreme moments of hopelessness).
Right now I'm coming out of a depressive episode so my mood isn't really all that down, but my interest level and pleasure are off. And after reading your post I realize that many things that were very common parts of my life I have done in ages. It more a gap for me than coming up with things to take the place of other things. It makes me want to try to work on bringing those things back into my life. Thanks.
