Does or did anyone else experience clumsiness when they first or are suffering from depression? When this happened a month or so ago, I have realized that I keep running into walls, doors, etc.. I can't explain why other than depression because they appeared at the same time. I don't get bruises from running into objects or anything, but it's an annoyance I could live without.

Possibly. Sleep disturbances accompanied my early depression, and it was attended by a degree of carelessness and inattentiveness.

Yes I do. For me I think it has to do with a generel insecurity in every action I make

I try to numb myself from all the pain and "space out" which makes me not pay attention to anything.

Hi, Nike007, I meant to respond to this much sooner.
I was kind of on-my-own before and just-after I was diagnosed, and through a lot of internet research and other sources, discovered that there is a certain percentage of people who are affected by this symptom. It might even become a dangerous situation, if major depressive disorder is never treated, and someone experiences a serious fall as a result. Other lesser-known but very alarming side effects can include: difficulties with speech (where there never was before), sharp and chronic jaw pain, an acute increase in auditory faculties (making one very reactive to sound), light sensitivity, cognitive slowing, and lots of fuzzy thinking (perceived as ''slowness" by those around us). I have experienced all of these rarer side effects from major depressive disorder, and I can agree, they are no fun. The clumsiness was especially worrisome. You have to kind of re-think your movements and how you go about everyday tasks, taking more care, and not rushing as much. With time, and continued treatment, as well as making some adjustments to how I go about my day, these symptoms have lessened and/ or disappeared completely. Massive (((huggg)))), and a wish for better times for you, soon. |

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