hi there.... It just depends.... If I have been "kicked in the gut" so to speak I can go down in no time... really. But I think I go in waves and sometimes I am stronger than others. I sometimes hit a period of time that I am lower than normal but not in the dumper... At that time I am more vulnerable to take a nose dive.

With the therapy I have been through generally the depressions are shorter and I bounce back over a matter of days or a week but currently this one I have not been so resilient. I know it is interesting when T's say that I am doing well because it did not last long this time which is good but I still feel slammed by the depth that I have experienced.

Currently this one has lasted a couple months... I am working on doing what I know I need to do to bounce back. It kinda works... though I am not there yet.

Do you know what you need to do to take care and nourish you back to being better? I know alot of these things but currently feel I need a bit more help than usual.

Core issues hit harder and last longer or at least right now...

I am sorry you are having a difficult time right now. You are doing so much right now it is important to take care of you. Sometimes it is not easy... I bet you are familiar with the routine.

Currently I am starting a new med...you know... to assist as he says I drop low and fast when I do. I think each depression has similarities and differences. I thought I knew... but this one is yet different...
