I’ve been doing great for the last several weeks. I haven’t felt manic. I’ve been normal. I experienced joy and life felt positive and light. That’s all been taken from me. I don’t know what happened. I constantly feel like crying. I lie in bed all day. I’m negative and sad. The worst part is not knowing what caused this, and the fear of how long it might last or if it will continue to get worse.

Depression is sneaky. Be kind to yourself and do what you can do to not let depression run your life. Call for an appointment or med change (assuming you are taking something for your symptoms). The thing about bipolar depression is that it can come on fast with little or no warning. Is this the first time you have been depressed like this?

Depression is the worst. When I feel miserable, I remind myself that I have felt better in the past and will again. You were fine for a few weeks, so you know that it is possible for you.

Have you talked to your doctor and/or therapist? It sounds like you need help.

This is not my first rodeo with depression. But I was feeling so happy and normal. It’s such a shock. Im Having terrible thoughts.

My process went on leave for a medical issue and I can’t be seen until July. Her nurse is out after having surgery. I’m just left hanging. I feel so alone.
