Although one psychiatrist diagnosed me with MDD, I’m not sure if mine is only profound sadness and frustration from a real life problem. I feel very much like the above posters sometimes. It feels like a heaviness, like being underwater. I mostly get done all the things I need to do, but I’m in a fog and crying, even sui ideation, though won’t act. It’s my inner critic beating myself up. It’s a negative inner voice. I could get away from the situation, but haven’t, huge mixed emotions and worries the MI is within me, so I don’t leave. I’ve also been triggered by a couple of real life fallouts with loved ones and their behavior and attitude towards me was shocking. I’m very sad about that, but no choice but to move forward, which I can do, although bruised forever.

However, since I started taking an anti anxiety med, that severe feeling has stopped and the severe crying has stopped. But, I still have the issue and feel the emotions.
