When I get extremely depressed I just feel extremely empty and lose all ability to feel pleasure. Maybe if it is really bad I have obsessive thoughts about death. I also have really bad feelings of worthlessness. But I never cry or feel very emotional. I feel a void.Mild depression for me is of the atypical variety.
Lack of motivation, interest, etc.Occasionally, but very seldom, I may feel "SAD". But this is something totally different that I hardly ever experience. Here I feel emotional and maybe a bit teary but I am not depressed. In fact, post "SAD" I usually feel good.
Is this common for people. Or do most people who are depressed feel emotional and get teary eyed, etc? Are certain depressions/dx's prone to some symptoms over others?
Just wondering.
