Answer 1

My personal experience is that we all go through this at some point.  I was tired all the time.  I had to force myself out of bed.  I would feel NO joy at any point during the day.  I would cry at the drop of a hat. (husband ate the last piece of cheese or something ridiculous like that!)  I was having a pity party.  Looking at others as having it all, never going through everything I DID.  Stop-ed eating, then ate too much.  There are so many signs.  Massive depression is obviously not wanting to live or thinking and planning suicide.  Basically just a different person!
