Are you a lethargic depressed or an active depressed?

[teawrecks]

If and when you experience depression.

I I know it's common for people to be lethargic and lack interest in doing things.

But im half an half. ill have moments where it seems like way too much work to get off the couch, and then I have moments where I can't stop cleaning or baking or doing something.

Like my brain handles depression in shifts. By letting me wallow in sadness and then by making me distract myself from that heaviness.

[Azgeda]

Lethargic depressed mostly. It's kinda like an infection that my body works out in a few hours before going.
"Yenno what. FUCK DIS SHIT! Fuck this pussy ass sad cunt bullshit! GET MAD! When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

I'm a bit on the depressed side and I've spent all day cleaning. However I've also had days where I just sit on the couch all fucking day long and don't care.

Active.
The only thing I can think of that really manages to get me depressed, to varying degrees, are fights with my boyfriend. I never feel lethargic after/during those, though. Hell, I could be crying for over an hour straight, and as soon as the tears run out and my face gets back to looking semi-normal, I head to the gym for a workout where I push myself twice as hard as usual. (I'm guilty of using the majority of the time spent on the elliptical to mope and over-analyze what was said during the argument but... I have yet to come back from the gym and not feel a ton better. Like I've been given a sense of clarity.)

Tbh, my depression is usually VERY masochist so motivates me to be over active OR
jump into new situations I am not mentally ready for.

[peachblossomluck]

Every day of my life has been a struggle because of it. I take medicine and push myself into doing various things. I feel desperate for happiness sometimes.

[jjesica346]

Both, now I'm stuck on lazy and I can't get out, usually I stay active. I prefer active as the anxiety isn't as bad.

[teawrecks]

Yeah. When you're too lethargic to do anything, and have no drive. But your brain is still telling you all of the things that need to happen, and it makes your anxiety flare up.

I know how that goes.

[jjesica346]

Exactly!!

Clinical Depression, Bipolar & narcissistic personality traits. Life's a "beach". Good medication helps.

[amarahorrorstory]

Active. I still went out and would have fun for a bit but was still depressed once I went home

[Mustachekitteh]

I tend to do things so I can't stop to think about anything.

[CHARismatic110]

Depends on how severe it is. Sometimes I have no choice other than being lethargic and closed off.

[Phoenix98]

Neither just worn down lol.

I used to be actively depressed years and years ago though.

[FilthyPervert]

I'm a warrior, depression is a blessing (helps me see problems a mile away). :)
