It can happen at any time, when I'm home alone watching TV or when I'm cuddling with my girlfriend, the situation I'm in really doesn't seem to matter.

I can't figure out why I'm having these emotions. My life is generally fine and when I don't feel depressed I can feel quite happy. I looked into ultra rapid cycling bipolar disorder but I don't think that's it since I don't seem to have periods of mania. I have been depressed in the past for about 6 months straight which was caused by me being addicted to weed and basicly wasting 2 years of my life because of it but that was a long time ago and I have come a long way since.

Please help me out, I just need to get a grasp on what this is. It's killing me that I can't figure it out, I've been having these "episodes" for over a year and I just can't figure it out. At worst I have 1 or 2 every day but there's been weeks where I didn't have an episode at all.

Thanks in advance,

I have no idea of your current or past diagnosis', but sometimes personality disorders can cause episodes similar to what you describe - depressive episodes lasting from a few minutes to a few hours - especially borderline personality disorder. Maybe something to look at and see if any of the other symptoms fit? Maybe something to discuss with a therapist or physician?
