I have been the same way this winter. No scrapping, no taking photos, no cross stitching and very little reading. I have been making cookies which is terrible for weight!!!

OP you don't have to be sad or unhappy or even weepy to be clinically depressed. Like I said I was diagnosed with a form of depression that was called "treatment resistant depression". I had it for around 10 years. I wasn't sad or unhappy. I didn't feel anything. No highs or lows. My biggest symptom was losing interest in everything that normally I was interested in-sailing, scrapbooking, visiting my parents, visiting with friends. I did continue to read, but that is because reading is like breathing to me.
People with depression don't always have the same symptoms. I never once cried when I was depressed. The doctor said I was almost catatonic. I retreated within myself. I was also constantly physically exhausted, and I remember telling the doctor that it felt like I had molasses in my veins rather than blood. I was too tired to even stand up and take a shower.
The thing is what you mention the most is your loss of passion for hobbies and other activities. It's not only myself but other Peas who have said it sounds like depression. Why wait another 3 months before going to see a doctor to get this checked out? Obviously it's your body, your choice.
