Thinking about it I ask are their different levels of depression. I use to stay in bed all day not watch tv only got up to use bathroom and heat food up (I would go food shopping) on most days off work. Now I sometimes go to bed but talk myself out of doing nothing and try to be somewhat productive and go workout clean run errands. Some days are easier than other and I was thinking is this just a less depressed state?? Perhaps my meds are working.

Since I had ECT I have experienced depressed episodes but they have not been as intense. Mild to moderate. So yes I think there are varying degrees of depression. Medication for me has blunted the depressions and I think that's all I can ask for.

i think there are def different levels of depression. I have had them ranging from unable to leave the bed at all to more chronic functional depressions.
i hope your meds work out for you

Same here, I have different levels of bipolar depression. Thinking depression, it usually stays pretty mild.

Sometimes it is an effort to get out of bed, other times it isn't and then other times I just curl up and cave in.

At the moment I struggle to do anything but sit on my bum. I do some errands and cleaning but it's a huge chore. I don't like to call this depression cos it's not as dibilitating as the lowest lows but still affects my function so I call it a low baseline as my mood isn't fluctuating ( unless I forget to take my meds haha)

I definitely experience different levels of bipolar depression. It has ranged from not feeling like getting out of bed but always doing it anyway and going to bed at 5:30 p.m. to just have a relatively mild case of the blues.
