It sounds like you could be.  I think one of the hallmark signs is that it all persists.  Lasting at least 2 weeks is the general guideline.  I'm really sorry that you are having such a tough time.  Do you have anyone to talk to in your life?  Try to get out and take a walk or exercise as this can lift mood a bit.  Talk to us!

Could be.  Could also be a grief reaction to something that happened recently, if there is something like that.
