Tabitha, I had never thought of it this way but I really agree with you. Your post made me wonder... is what I consider normal "doing okay" for myself truly a mild-moderate depression? Maybe it's only when I hit more moderate-severe depression that I start to label it as such. I wonder this because what you described as a moderate depression resonates so much for me. I dont love it, but I dont necessairly mind it... the isolation (both physical and emotional) is somewhat comfortable and even though it's not where I hope to be ideally, I'm sort of content with it. I feel quite productive when it comes to doing what *I* want to do when it requires concentration, but tasks that require effort either because they require extended interaction or it's something I'm not self-motivated to do, you can pretty much forget it. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
I did see my therapist again today as planned. We didnt talk much about depression at all... but the session itself was good and productive I think.
