I'm similar to this.
I think my overwhelming feeling when depressed is just exhaustion. Everything is an effort I sleep for hours and am still tired and it's an incredibly physical feeling.
My mood is very black and I get lots of negative intrusive thoughts and lots of thoughts of self harm and suicide
I can become incredibly apathetic towards life - whats the point to that if I'm not going to be around any longer.
I withdraw because being social exhausts me putting on your smile and going out and if you look at my first point I'm already exhausted!!
I can become incredibly anxious which translates as being agitated I keep fidgeting etc but it's also a horrid physical feeling and again going out increases the anxiety
