I agree a lot with most of what the other posters have said so far.

However, I would like to add that I have times that are okay ~ where I feel like a relatively "normal" human being (with major depression, Dissociative Disorder, NOS and PTSD anyway). But, then, I go through phases where I feel as though my world is falling apart & my mood is all over the place!

My latest rough patch began about 1 month ago, and every day has been a major struggle for me to get through. I am not like I was just a few months ago, and wish that I could be like that again! Some moments I am happy, and I feel good. Followed by a feeling of panic and utter chaos. Then comes self-hate. Etc. On and on this trend continues.
