I've been noticing a lot lately the physical symptoms of my depression. I get a brain fog a lot and of course, the exhaustion.

CANDC won't be around to lead our normal Depression Chat tomorrow but I was thinking we could do a "Depression Check In" tomorrow night and discuss the physical symptoms of our depression.

See you guys at 8pm EST.

My most noticeable symptom is a severe tremor in my right hand & foot. I don't think it's a direct cause of my depression, but I did have a nervous breakdown because of my depression which lead to my tremor. I totally get ya on the brain fog.

Is brain fog the same as confusion? I think I experience a sense of being trapped and not being able to see other options...maybe even panic over the lack of options, which I supposed might bring me back to general confusion of what I am looking at. Like the word brain fog.

Exhaustion is definitely my biggest noticeable symptom, along with just wanting to be alone all the time. I could literally stay in bed all day, even if I wasn't sleeping...just being there lying down, in the dark...alone. I try not to do this of course; I have people who need me. But I find that being social and interacting with people leaves me feeling quite depleted.
