How are you feeling emotionally these days?

I don’t feel so down these days. Some sad days, some not so sad days. Leave me alone.

How’s your interest in things?

I’m pretty engaged in things these days. Meh. I’ve lost interest in a lot of things I used to like doing. I don't have interest in anything.

How’s your energy?

My energy is pretty good. It’s hard to get through a full day of chores or errands. I have low energy. I can barely drag myself through the workday. Get off my couch. Why?

Are you having trouble concentrating or do you find it difficult to make decisions?

No, I don’t have trouble concentrating or making decisions. What? Oh, right. Yes, I have trouble concentrating. I find it difficult to make decisions, even simple ones. I have trouble concentrating and I also find it difficult to make decisions. Ugh.

How has your sleep been lately?

I sleep pretty well most nights. I sleep too much. I could sleep around the clock. I fell asleep at my desk recently. Yawn. I have trouble sleeping most nights.

Have you noticed changes in weight or appetite?

No, both are about the same. I’m eating more or less than usual. I’ve gained or lost a lot of weight.

Have you had thoughts of suicide?

No, I don’t have thoughts of suicide. Yes, I have thoughts of suicide.*

Do you ever feel worthless or have guilty feelings?

I rarely or never feel worthless or have guilty feelings. Yes, I have guilty feelings a lot. Yes, sometimes I feel worthless.

Do you experience restlessness or move so slowly that others notice?

I don’t have either symptom. I can hardly sit still sometimes. I seem to move more slowly than I used to. I have both restlessness and slow movement.

Choose the Blue that's most like you

Light Blue manages to get through the days fairly well, and the sadness doesn't seem as bad as it has been. But some lingering symptoms make it hard to perform everyday tasks, or engage in social activities.

True Blue experiences quite a few depression symptoms, along with feeling down. Some of those symptoms can make it difficult to function at work or at home, and getting through the day can be pretty challenging.

Deep Blue is really struggling, and is experiencing lots of symptoms. Every day is very difficult, and symptoms make work situations and home management particularly difficult. Relationships are also a challenge.
