Hello,
I started feeling like my depression was leaving. I was feeling great-like life might be worth living-as if I was almost on top of a mountain. Then I dropped to the bottom of the mountain. No warning-just severely down. I don't know what happened. Is this normal for depression? I don't have very good coping skills as it is. I don't feel like I should keep trying anymore. I was trying to get my life back to normal (whatever normal was) and be happy. I can't seem to win. What did I do to get this depressed? I don't know where to turn now. The family doctor is the only one I can even go to. The psych. doctor is not taking any new patients at this time. When I was feeling better-I thought I could help others-this makes me feel even worse not to be helpful. I am thankful for all the caring people on this site-at least I don't feel so alone.
