Hi ~ I've been depressed since I was a child, and have been on medications for years & years. I know what you're talking about. I too can be with friends or out with my daughter, and all of a sudden a huge "wash" of depression will go over me for apparently no reason! But what I've found that there IS a reason to it ~ without knowing it, I was thinking of something in my past that hurt ~ such as the death of my husband, or the loss of a family member. I tend to think of these things without even realizing it ~ and then this depression will hit, and I'll wonder what the heck happened!  I have to consciously think about it, and then I'll realize what was going on.
And it's not always deaths ~ sometimes is other issues in my past that brought me grief ~ or things that I'm ashamed of or that I had struggled with in therapy. I've tried to put those things behind me, but every now and again, they float back up to the top and pester the daylights out of me.  So I have to work once again to get rid of them.
These are just my experiences. I hope I've helped you a little. God bless and take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee
