does your depression ever just feel slow?

I've been on a low dose of zoloft (monotherapy) now for 2 months. I was feeling pretty wired the past week or so, started a bunch of projects, was sleeping less etc etc and then 2 days ago felt myself coming down. I'm now completely exhausted and worn out but don't really feel sadness...I'm not really happy or excited either, just kind of 'blah', thoughts slowed way down, lack of motivation, desire to be alone etc.

I feel like this doesn't really 'count' as depression (which for me has always been of the sobbing on the floor variety as opposed to the vegetative). Could this be what medicated depression is like? (in a way, I truly hope so because this I can deal with). I guess it's not really a question someone can answer, just felt the need to share.

For me feeling slowed and apathetic is definitely a stage of depression. Usually I'd call it mild when I'm in that stage. Apathy sucks but it is bearable for sure.

Ive been there before .. I always increase my self care ten fold. I force myself to get up and move even if its just a 15 min walk ...I personally believe its possible to pull ourselves out of an early depression or at least lessen the time it lasts .. But that is just me .

Hope your feeling better soon

I agree...I managed to get myself to a workout class today that I REALLY did not want to go to, but, as usual, felt better afterwards. Trying to relax without guilt and plan at least one social activity a day since I'm living alone at the moment...now the key is to not cancel!
