Apparently, people with atypical depression react very highly to rejection.. No wonder it took me that much of trouble to get over my ex T..
I have the same exact problems.. here is what it says about it in different articles
"This type of depression usually follows an interpersonal rejection by a lover, boss, or close friend. People with atypical depression tend to overeat and oversleep, whereas people with melancholia often are characterized by weight loss and insomnia."
"Atypical depression is a type of depression that overwhelms an individual almost to the point of emotional paralysis. Oftentimes, atypical depression is set off by perceived as well as real rejections so that even a constructive criticism is taken as a personal affront.""If you are battling atypical depression, you probably feel extremely sensitive to criticism. If you are married or have a significant other, you may feel a bout of depression if he or she does not give you a hug or turns away from you instead of holding you while sleeping together."
"Don’t be surprised if it’s hard to get out of bed or if you sleep more than 10 hours with atypical depression."" A romantic break-up or death in the family may set off serious symptoms of atypical depression.
Atypical depression often follows rejections by close friends, co-workers or family members."
