I haven't really talked to anyone about what's going on. I don't understand it myself. I feel sad, worthless, tired. I wake up after a couple of hours sleep, then fret for the rest of the night. I frequently think about death.
At the same time, if I consider the details of my life on at a time, I can see that I'm lucky - good job, good family, friends who care. But as soon as I stop concentrating on the details, I feel like crap again. How can I feel terrible about things I know are good?

I've been 'down' for about two years, getting progressively worse as time goes on. My Doctor started me on Celexa a month ago. I just took the Goldberg test on this site, scoring a 65 - severe depression.
My wife knows I'm on Celexa, but doesn't really get how bad I feel, and to be fair I haven't really expressed it. I don't know if friends and coworkers have noticed anything. I'm pretty good at acting normal.
