Made me realize it was already there. There were also some much more mundane things going on that also caused stress when I realized I have depression. It wasn’t until I was on an appropriate dose of anti-depressants that I realized how bad for how long it had been.
For me, depression doesn’t seem to manifest as being unable to function. I get dwelling on issues/ideas/emotions/whatever, and so unconsciously I end up doing ALL THE THINGS in order to drown out the brain weasels - if I’m busy following this knitting pattern while reading it fills up the brain with un-depression-ish thoughts. So now I don’t make as many things, but I can also relax and goof off and the brain weasels aren’t yammering away.
