This may sound dumb, but is it possible to have depression without knowing/noticing?
To be so cut off from your feelings, that it all ends up in some kind mechanism? Or that you manage to fool yourself, thinking that you're ok?

Depression is normally stronger than just being sad, though, if its interfering with your life the numbness then its depression, but if its not then perhaps it isnt. They wouldnt diagnose it anyway.

For example you may feel angry or anxious, rather than sad or down.
if you're still able to convince yourself that you're ok, you would probably only have mild depression.
this can be helped enormously by eating properly, moderate exercise and talking about how you feel.
With depression sometimes you dont realise that theres something wrong. You can have ups and downs, be tearful, stop eating, be anxious, be real stroppy infact amongst some other symptoms. with me i wasnt eating, was tearful etc etc.
ah well, not all life is bad i guess....
But how would I get rid of all of the emotions from above? I can't do sports, some days I can barely walk. Normally that'd been my way of dealing with things.
