Hello,

I was just wondering if feeling disoriented is a symptom of depression, like having a hard time making a decission over something relatively simple, causing anxiety.. Thanks for your feedback....

i think it certainly can be.

when i get depressed, often times i just can't make myself care enough about something to make even the simplest decision. or i get into one of those "what difference does it make" kind of moods.

as well, i tend to not eat for days at a time sometimes when i get really down, which can lead to literal disorientation and not being able to move correctly.

Hey!
Is that not called derealization? I had it really badly for a while and decisions are almost impossible, I used to not even beable to decide what to eat for breakfast so I wouldn't at all!

Hey Lovemyway,
I certainly think it is a symptom of depression... I have been experiencing that a whole lot lately.. It feels so weird, and no one really understands what it's like unless they have gone through it.. so, they think im just going crazy.. but i know it's part of my depression... either that, or my medicine...

That was one of my first signs of depression and after all the desperate research I did to figure out why I was feeling this way, I found that it is a common symptom some people with depression. However, it is often found with anxiety or people who have extreme anxiety or fear that results in depression.
