I find depression deeply exhausting. I quip that "depressed" is not "deep rest" - it is startling how not doing much can exhaust you.
When the mood lifts, I feel fine, have energy, and do not experience "leftover" or "carry-over" exhaustion. This definitely is a blessing - the ability to enjoy energy when it is possible (in those windows of time), but it puzzles me how after something so terrible there is no "residue". I wonder how others are in that regard.

I have no difference in energy between depression and non-depression only because I take Ritalin which gives me energy pretty consistently.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
