Difficulty in concentrating.
Another symptom of depression that can feel like it's something else is having trouble concentrating. When you are depressed, it's challenging to perform basic tasks, including staying focused on one task.
Difficulty concentrating could be because of the lack of sleep, too. When you're depressed, insomnia is a symptom. One symptom of not getting enough sleep is having trouble staying focused.
Meditation and mindfulness may be able to help you stay in the present, but if you're still having trouble, you need to seek help.
