Can anyone relate?
I have actually been feeling rather good for the past week: upbeat, strong, capable and not as nearly as tired as I have been for the past year. (But not manic - I do have depression but not bipolar). I have been trying to force myself to push through my tiredness and I also had a few very helpful sessions in therapy. Tonight I crashed. Two sort of big (anxiety provoking) things happened today but by tonight I was so much less able to deal with them. Now I feel like the cloud is back over my head. I feel sad and dejected and hopeless. Have you ever felt better (cured) for a week to a month only to have the depression return?
ps. I am not on meds. This past week I was thinking maybe I didn't even need them... Now I'm not sure again...
