Checking out this manual, it appears to be the self disorder Diminished Transparency of Consciousness (2.15):
http://www.nordlandssykehuset.no/getfil ... r/EASE.pdf
Quote:
A pervasive or recurrent sense of not being fully alert,
fully awake, fully conscious, as if there was some lack of
clarity, inner hindrance, or feelings of internal pressure,
blocking, opacity. The acts of consciousness or the very
way of being conscious appear as somehow peculiarly faded,
diminished or ineffi cient.
If the patient complains about a sort of globally unpleasant,
but not further describable pervasive mental
state, or a global feeling of pressure, oppression, blocking,
and the like, locating these sensations to his head, mind
or brain, then diminished transparency should be rated
as present, that is if the complaints are not caused by a
concomitant thought pressure (1.3). Experiences of diminished
transparency should not be rated if they appear
to be secondary, e.g. linked to thought pressure, hallucinatory
states, mental exhaustion, clinical depression, seasonal
affective disorder, and organic brain disorder (e.g.
epilepsy) or drug intake.
My doctors have told me I don't seemed depressed, so depression doesn't seem to account for it. It's also been something that is constant. I have thought pressure sometimes, but not all of the time.
