> Lets see, very hard time concentrating, overly pessimistic( not based on what I think, but what my brain thinks) over sleep at times then have insomnia, I find it insanely hard to get out of bed, do a bit of homework, do a bit of cleaning, poor evergy levels, very poor appetite... and then of course very powerful social anxiety, centered on rejection sensitivity and slow mind when someone talks to me. I really appreciate the help. OH, and I have tried alot of ad's without response. Thankx Tom
Hi Tom,
It could be. Atypical depression is very common in people with social anxiety disorder. I suppose the strongest indicator would be mood reactivity. Would you consider yourself a very sensitive person? Do good things give your mood a lift and bad things depress you? Given your other symptoms, mood reactivity would probably seal the deal. But I'm no pdoc, of course.
