Internet will always tell you that you're depressed, if you are looking for a proof that you are. Please do not diagnose yourself and go see a doctor if you think that that's the case.
Can you concentrate? Can you sleep okay? Do you have the appetite to eat? Can you get out of bed in the morning? Can you control anger?
If you answered "no" to all of the questions, chances are that you are depressed. But please go see a doctor to be sure!

I can't get anything done feeling like this. I really wonder if it's even worth it. I feel like I should be doing something exciting on a daily basis, but I don't have the time to right now.
Also, I found out that neurogenesis fights depression. And that things like stress can slow down or stop neurogensis, which would lead to symptoms of depression. I've definitely been stressed recently. But it's things I can't avoid. So I'm going to back to exercising and start learning something new, both of which should encourage neurogenesis.
These things tell me that it's simply resistance that you're feeling. Not necessarily to the sub, but maybe the circumstances in your life that you're not willing to accept and give in to.
