I had a similar experience years ago I. in that I was initially was treated for depression. In reality It was likely a comorbidity. Anti depressants helped me feel better but did nothing for the other symptoms, I just felt less bummed about them!
Once I went through the lengthy process of an ADHD diagnosis , suddenly my life made much more sense. It was such a relief because I was convinced I was just a little on the stupid side despite accomplishments.
It was very confusing because I have always loved life but will oscillate regularly between feeling razor sharp and engaged then totally out to lunch. I think the latter I confuses with depression because , like you said, I’d want to do stuff but for the life of me I can’t get my butt in gear because of the indecisiveness. Do you find that also causes a lot of anxiety as well? It sure can for me if I am not monitoring my thought tendencies.
Thanks for your post, much appreciated.
