Is this possible? I think I have been depressed for a while. I'm able to go to work and do what I need to do and be social in the office to avoid the questions. But nowhere to the point I was before when I would go and talk to everyone. I'm tired most of the time and have been sleeping more. I can't motivate myself to clean my room. I only shower if I have to be somewhere (e.g., work, doctor appointment). I had to shovel my driveway earlier. When I got out the shower, the familiar wave of depression hit me, and I'm like WTF?! I finally do have my appointment with a therapist next Monday, but I know that will not solve all problems. Honestly, when I'm extremely depressed is when I hate myself and that's what I need to work on. Otherwise, I don't know what my problem is. I don't have anything really to be upset about. Well now I feel lonely, but I usually enjoy my solitude. I've given up on trying find a relationship. My mood swings are hard for me to handle sometimes, I don't think I can put that on someone else.

Anyway, the whole point of this thread is...are any of you still functional when depressed, or do you have to just stop and take a break from everything?
