Depression - Homesick?

So the other evening I worked out with my trainer who has become concerned.  He is concerned that I am not myself lately.  Apparently I am not as energetic, excited as I usually am - I thought I was half asleep in the mornings.  He appreciates I don't talk about work because I work for the city and he technically does as a trainer at our city gym facilities.
I did share with him I think I am just in a funk.  To which he asked are you homesick and I said ah maybe a little.  Then he asked timidly if I would be open to considering I may be depressed.  

Which made me have a couple of thoughts in my reactions:
1. Wow a total stranger is concerned about me
2. Depression is real but yet people are willing to talk about it with hesitation
3. This is pretty cool.

So I would like to focus on number 2.

Depression is real and more people than we are probably even aware suffer from it.  I know because in 2016 I was diagnosed with depression by two professionals.  One was my primary care provider and the other was a therapist I talked to for almost a year.  

Prior to this post I have not shared this with too many people.  I have taken medication for it.  I have also been told it is not addictive.  

So here is the other confession with agreement from my current medical primary care provider I have gone off my medication because I have felt so much better since I moved to TX.  However, I am now wondering if I need this more than I realized I did.  If I am honest I have been in a funk this past month.  I kept telling myself it was the heat but I will be honest I am not sleeping as well at night but on the weekends I have no problem sleeping a good portion of the time (I thought maybe it was because I had insomnia during the week).  I am noticing I am being very introverted, I have a messy kitchen and clean clothes piled on my dinner table, and a messy car.  Not really messy but I just don't want to do anything.  So while I may not post this post publicly I am still taking a risk putting this out here.  

I have been embarrassed to let people know I was depressed and not happy when I was in CA but I now know people noticed.  I have been happy in TX and thought maybe I could be off my med but maybe just maybe I can't.  Maybe it is something I need.  I don't know something to think about and research.

I have also started doing energy healing.  I will blog about that this weekend.  

I do know one thing I am glad my trainer Zack was not afraid to ask the question and make me think about this.
