A symptom that I have is that my legs and my arms will freeze and I don't feel like I can do anything. I am frozen and there's a lot of frustration that comes with that because you think that you have like you feel the capability, like you have the energy to do everything you want to do, but your arms and legs just say no. That's something that I've definitely struggled with and ways that I've had help with that is by asking somebody to literally pull me up out of my bed so that I can move and usually once I've been pushed around a little bit and wiggled like a little rag doll standing up, most of the time I can get back to work or have somebody help start a task that I need to get done to break out of it. I just cannot isolate.

There can be anger involved with it. There can be a lot of, in my experience, a lot of loneliness involved with it too. Like you can be around people but still feel alone or like you can feel trapped in your head or like you can never, you know, get out of the rut that you're stuck in. Just, yeah, pretty, pretty bad, pretty bad. Yeah.

Did you know that one of the symptoms of depression is sitting in a chair? I find anytime I haven't got anything to do, I just sit in a chair. I don't do hardly anything. I might be on my phone and that's about it, but a lot of the time I'll just sit there with no music on, no TV on, not writing, not on the phone, anything, just sitting there and thinking, thinking, thinking. I'm a deep thinker and that is my main effect with depression is sitting in a chair.
