I still get down, too, Rebecca (obviously), even after having some amazing up periods I thought would last forever. I had one up period that lasted three years, although I had panic attacks then. I don't miss those at all.
I guess there must be a reason I get down. It keeps leading me back to places like this, and then I see other people in pain, and maybe I can relate and empathize with them to a degree. Anyway, that's my attempt at an explanation. I hope you bounce back soon.
