When I am in a deep depression I just can't imagine it ever ending, yet it does. The same thing is true when not in one, I can't imagine it ever coming back. Yet it does. I have been doing so good since the beginning of April. So much so I was able to fly from Michigan to CA and get my car in CA all fixed up to make a road trip back to Michigan with my daughter. Been very busy the last two weeks working on car, getting all my stuff that was in my buddies garage loaded into car etc etc.
No the last two days I feel the depression slowly creeping back. Yesterday I slept most of the day. Today I didn't want to get up but I am supposed to have coffee with my old boss so I forced myself to take a shower. Leaving in a little bit.
The new meds have been working so good. I was hypomanic for two months but that went away. I kind of wished it wouldn't have went away. It wasn't a great feeling but I had energy. Now I am rather flat.
I am back to my normal life long moderate to mild depressive state. Hopefully it won't go deep. I have 2500 mile road trip ahead of me and leave sunday morning.
