My two brothers, who I only see 2-3 times a year, met up with me to go to a concert this past Wednesday. My brothers and I have been to a lot of concert through the years, especially when we were younger. This concert was a Super Bowl to me because it has been my favorite artist for the last 29 years. If music is allowed in heaven and he's not allowed to play, then I don't want to go there. I enjoy his music that much and the concert sounded just like I was listening to it through my home entertainment center. I sat on the 4th row. It was totally awesome!

However, I am so sad now. I can't quit the crying spells. All of the anxiety and anticipation of going to this show since tickets were purchased last November kept me going. I am thinking the real crash has finally arrived.

I so wish that I get my mental health back together. I am so sick of being sick.

I mean really, I thought that you are supposed to do things that you enjoy and make you feel good. It's been backfiring on me the last several years because of the crash afterwards.

I'm right there with you. I had a great week then fell right back to where I was before. It's so frustrating when you think you've turned a corner and have finally found peace just to have it taken away as quickly as it came. I hope you are able to find relief soon. .

Similar thing happened to me. Went to a play with a couple of friends I haven't seen in months. It was downhill after that. I couldn't stop thinking about how different their lives are from mine. Mental illness really sucks. After a few more months of misery I'm slowly recovering.

I understand about the backfiring part. I can sometimes get very scared when I'm really happy. Just because I know what evil lurked just around the bend. I knows it's hard, but do your help to let yourself be happy when you are. Enjoy it. Take pictures and write down reminders describing your happiness. It's the happy times which make the bad times worth it in the end. While you are depressed, you might not feel it's worth it..... But the next time you are in the moment you will feel different.

I went into a depression after my Caribbean cruise last December. I mean, I felt it come over me almost immediately after getting off the plane and heading home. It lifted in February, but it was sure unpleasant for awhile.

I've never been fortunate enough to go on a cruise. I can only imagine how low I would feel afterwards. Because of my constant job changes prior to dx, I've only had 1 adult vacation and it was only 3 days. It wouldn't take much to top that to send me on the roller coaster ride.

I do hope that you continue to feel better.
