I get an apathetic, lethargic type of depression and I feel....just not 'with it' slow. If I am around people (which I avoid) I am out of sync and it is painful. The gears in my head and body feel like they are gummed up. My timing is off. I don't smile at the right time and nothing I say or any bodily gestures feel natural.
I am having trouble describing it. Awkward is good. Like a lumbering behemoth works. Retarded. Slow. Everyone else seems to be moving along smoothly and there I am-stumling, fumbling. Just plodding along and gimpy to the core.
Is this what you are describing?
Whatever it is it is so dispiriting. No wonder we retreat. It is impossible to feel connected at all.
Peace,
Kaye
