It depends on the depression. Sometimes I can go about my day like a pretty, smiling, little red headed girl, but then my days and nights tend to be mixed up (a little like today and tonight). Other times, I can't even get out of bed. It seems the older I get, the more I can't get out of bed and have a harder time faking it. I hope you don't have to go to the hospital but please listen closely to your husband and go if you need to go.
