Do your body and muscles feel extra heavy when you’re depressed?

Question

Answer

Yep. Part of the physical manifestations of depression are feeling lathargic and slow movement

Answer

This was actually taught as one of the hallmarks of MDD in my program. Depression seems to take on a life of its own, essentially putting sunglasses over the host, where everything is dark and a catastrophe. Slow movement and slow speech are also common. I've noticed all of the above in my own life, especially the feeling of  weights being attached to my limbs. One thing no one else has ever mentioned, though, is why I feel the need to be bundled and I get cold so much. I'll have pjs on with my bath robe and socks on in the dead of summer.

Answer

Now you mention it. Don’t think I’ve really thought about it before.
