Yes, this is completely normal with depression. My husband said that I had absolutely no memory at all while depressed - I was always preoccupied and "spaced out". As for getting out of bed, and pushing yourself, that's up to you. I tried to find a balance. IE, yes, get out of bed everyday, but don't push yourself to do a ton of things each day.
I understand how you feel - but remember, you took a huge step admitting there's a problem. Problems don't make you feel good - simple as that. As for your positiveness, remind yourself every day (and maybe every minute at times) that this is TREATABLE and that you WILL feel better.
Since you're taking the time off work, try to think of that as a positive. Try to do things that you normally don't have the time to do but enjoy doing.
Hugs, Han.
