Also breathing tends to be shallower, and just in general not all that regular. Breathing, of course, normally happens without conscious input...but its like i get the subjective feeling I need to "remember" to breathe.I'm clueless. :-\
With depression, there is often sighing and "air hunger". Air hunger feels like you don't get enough air, no matter how deeply you try to breath. There is no sense of satiation.
