Glad to hear somebody else has the same experience. When I'm depressed, I get this feeling as if there's a block of lead behind my eye-balls. It seems to affect my focus. The problem is that I have mild astigmatism in one eye, and sometimes THAT focus problem feels similar to the physical symptom of depression and can even trigger it.
Depression is such a weird disease. No one depression is like another, and none of us can be sure that it feels the same for anybody else. Does anybody else get a physical feeling in the head like it's made of metal or something?
