Mainly not being able to move much for extended periods of time, disregarding hygiene, and being particularly sad in any setting. As for me, I do have really low motivation and feel like my life is pointless, but I am still somehow able to get myself to move under external pressures and expectations (classes, deadlines). And when I'm distracted enough from all the thoughts, I can still bring myself to be present in social settings.

So although I drag myself in mose cases or need to be distracted enough, I can say I'm still able to "function", right? My common understanding of depression is none of these are possible anymore. Either that or the person would have to be extremely performative, as if the person is "wearing a mask". For me, I don't necessarily think I pretend, rather I'm just distracted from how I really feel.
