Feeling loopy when depression hits
This is kind of a weird question, but I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this. My depression is WAY better than it used to be. However, of course there are times where something triggers me and I spiral and I will get very depressed very quickly. (typically for me, my depression hits hard and fast but doesn't last a super long time.) I've noticed that when I get depressed like that, I get tired/almost dizzy/kind of loopy. It's kind of a drugged feeling. I'm not sure if it's the depression or if it's from my medication (my medication doesn't make me feel bad but maybe this is my medication preventing me from feeling suical and just making me loopy instead). Any ideas?

I'm glad that your depression is better now and that when it comes around it doesn't last very long. I would guess that it you coping better with it than before. Regarding your medication It depends on how long you have been on the medication or if it has been changed recently.
Depression definately makes people feel tired and affects cognition: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/demystifying-psychiatry/201606/cognitive-impairment-in-depression
If this is something you are concerned about I would talk to your doctor. Good luck!
There are a number of factors that may increase the chance of stess and depression including the following:
Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can increase the vulnerability to clinical depression later in life.
Certain medications. Some drugs, such as isotretinoin (used to treat acne), the antiviral drug interferon-alpha, and corticosteroids, can increase your risk of depression.
Conflict. Depression in someone who has the biological vulnerability to develop depression may result from personal conflicts or disputes with family members or friends.
Death or a loss. Sadness or grief from the death or loss of a loved one, though natural, may increase the risk of depression.
Genetics. A family history of depression may increase the risk. It's thought that depression is a complex trait, meaning that there are probably many different genes that each exert small effects, rather than a single gene that contributes to disease risk. The genetics of depression, like most psychiatric disorders, are not as simple or straightforward as in purely genetic diseases such as Huntington's chorea or cystic fibrosis.
Major events. Even good events such as starting a new job, graduating, or getting married can lead to depression. So can moving, losing a job or income, getting divorced, or retiring. However, the syndrome of clinical depression is never just a "normal" response to stressful life events.
Other personal problems. Problems such as social isolation due to other mental illnesses or being cast out of a family or social group can contribute to the risk of developing clinical depression.
Serious illnesses. Sometimes depression co-exists with a major illness or may be triggered by another medical condition.
Substance abuse. Nearly 30% of people with substance abuse problems also have major or clinical depression.
