Has anyone dreamed they were depressed?
</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Yes. Mine are metaphorical. One was about scuba diving with my husband. I didn't know how to scuba dive and we were assigned the task of finding a certain object underwater. We were given an undersea map. But I didn't know how to read it and navigate underwater, much less handle the diving apparatus. We swam aimlessly. I thought I would drown or get the bends. I had no directional point of reference so the map was useless. My air was running out. Deep sea creatures kept trying to get me as I swam by their caves. I didn't care. My husband went off in what I felt was the wrong direction, but I wasn't completely sure. My air was running out and I hadn't found the object. Went on and on. Lots of feelings of helplessness and doom and don't care and of being unable to accomplish anything (I will never find the object). Depression. Anxiety.
