Having suffered a few bouts of depression and associated sleep problems (alternating too little and too much), I hear ya. Meds helped me once, but long term I went off them, and this time squeaked by without them. Can't hurt to discuss with Doc and evaluate as an option.
I know the feeling about the reading. I could barely focus, but slowly read just a bit at a time until the fog lifted enough for it to be enjoyable again.
And talking to friends and family! I'm surprised they didn't move away and/or change their numbers. ;-) Just remember to be mindful of sharing too many details with well-meaning friends and family.
