Well... I don't really know much of anything about all of these mental health diagnoses that get discussed here on PC. (Sometimes I think that's not necessarily a bad thing either.) But I always score high on tests for depression. Yet I've never been a person who couldn't get out of bed. I do often feel sad & hopeless. But I still get up every day, get cleaned up, & do what needs to be done. Many years ago, my father would always say: "You're not required to like it. You're just required to do it." And I've taken that as my mantra. I have also always struggled with quite a lot of anxiety along with anger issues. A racing heart & feeling triggered by everything are familiar to me. So if all of that qualifies as agitated depression then I guess you can count me in!
