It's been rough lately. I feel like crying, but don't want to around my wife or kids.

I don't want to go outside even though it is nice out. I want to pull the curtains shut and be in the dark.

It's hard focusing at work, and I worry that my lack of focus and motivation could cause problems.

There's nothing in particular going on in life that seems like it could cause it. It just happens with me.

I just barely got back from a visit with my psychiatrist and we are upping the dose of my antidepressant.

I guess I don't have anything else to say. I just wanted to post this to start this community and to let other people struggling that you aren't the only one.
