That's how depression feels all right, Mickey. It is the absolute pits and it can strike anyone at any time, no matter how famous or productive or virtuous. It's the strangest thing -- for me, when I'm in my depressed state I feel exactly as you are describing. And when I'm not it's as if I'm seeing everything from a totally different place. And yet I'm the same person in the same circumstance. Nothing has changed but my mood and my consciousness.

Sometimes when you're in the place you're in now, it can help to do almost anything. You might try picking some small task like doing the dishes and take the 1st step towards it. (You will not WANT to do this, but just go do it anyway.) Just go stand by the sink, or something. And sometimes just that small action will get your life juices starting to flow. And it isn't so much the point to achieve the dishes, as it is to drag your mind out of its current state.

By the way, I don't recall - are you on any medication?
