3. Thanks Steve - normally I am around an 8 but now

I am at weird 3/4, this weekend I really got hit hard by a feeling of dread - like all the depression symptoms hit me all at once full force (sleeplessness, not enjoying favorite activities or mmmm food, irritable, slightly paranoid, constant worrying and just a feeling of ick). I can't shake it and I don't know what is causing it (no change in medications, no major life stressors)

Now I can't sleep (worry/dread) and I am pretty sure my lack of sleep is making all the above symptoms worse. I keep thinking that if I could just sleep for more than 45 min at a time I would feel better.

I have never felt this way for so long before - I am usually pretty good at getting out of a funk with music, playing with my dogs, or watching something funny.

Hope everyone is doing well
