Does depression make you do weird things too? (don't mean suicidal)

As I been told I have a mood disorder, I’m curious to know if depression makes you do weird things, like write tons of letters to people (or say a dead celebrity in my case) revealing everything about yourself… I think they may have been erotomanic delusions (not sexual, just romantic in nature though)… does this happen with depression too?

Not for me. It just multiplied the effect of my negative symptoms and made me even more torpid in addition to being suicidal. Feel okay in that department now thanks to the Wellbutrin.

The only thing i did years ago when i was clinically depressed was basically write it all down in an essay form on paper, addressed to the wife and what i thought was aggressors.

Then i would go down the beach at sunrise in some form of ritual and cast them out to sea off the pier.

If an antidepressant triggered your psychosis then chances are you were manic

A great many were academic proposals. A lot of what he suggested to the NSA in terms of cryptology became reality when computer technology caught up to him.

I carried a dead rat around with me once. I named it Fred and talked to it. When they took me to the hospital they took Fred away, but he really smelled nasty by then, anyway…I hadn’t noticed him smelling cuz I thought it was me since I hadn’t showered in weeks at that point. Anyway, I never saw Fred again.

I had all of this, but in addition to that I was acting very weird.

Other than that, I don’t think much other than guilting people to make me happy.
