In reply to Does depression = feeling very sad?, posted by DC on March 30, 2000, at 1:31:09
My depression consists of all the negative and/or lack of emotion the others describe, but I also have experienced periods of very intense sadness. Times when I would actually feel as though my heart were breaking, and have absolutely no reason to feel that way. It is utter "depression" and hopelessness, to know intellectually that you really do have everything you ever wanted in life, and still, feel no joy and worse actually feel the kind of sadness(grief, even) that most people would only feel with a major family catastrophe. Lucky for me, I haven't been that low in a few months! CarolAnn
