I find myself feeling this way now, too---although my Major Depression symptoms have lifted a great deal, and I only struggle, on average, through 3-4 tough days, about once a month.

Yeah that makes sense, I probably am very sensitive and all the negativity in the world can bring anyone down whether they want to admit it or not. Glad things have improved for you and seems like you've been able to regulate your emotions. I actually do wonder if everything that has been going on has everyone in a semi depressive state without being truly depressed if that makes any sense. Like no one is sad for two weeks straight but most people may feel a sense of dread or sadness as if something is just not right and Covid has proven to have a major negative impact on people's mental health.
