does anyone else get/feel this?

im curently feeling positively fine.no problems.jus happy.not too happy and excited but not depressed.but the past week i was really really not in a good place,i felt really derpessed for no reason and all this came on in about 1-2 days.i considered calling local doc to make an appt,but now that i feel better it all seems so silly.'why would i have made an appt?im fine arent i?' is what i keep saying.
does anyone else feel like that when they come out of something similiar ,that maybe it wasnt real or that now what you dont feel like that,that all those feelings werent "proper" or serious?
this makes me feel so confused and stupid for thinking those thoughts before arghh..-_-

Hi Carrie,

It sounds like something triggered some sadness for you and made you feel down to which afterwards your coping mechanisms kicked in and brought you out of it. Truthfully I used to feel like I was going through something similar but as I got older realized I was just in an acute depression phase from my general sadness (dysthymia). It's nice to hear you were able to get out of it. If it happens again try to remember how you were thinking when you felt better and hopefully it will pass you by just as quickly again.

Be well..
Chris

Yes!!! That happens to me a LOT! It's happening now, actually. I'm not depressed the majority of the time, but I will have VIOLENT mood swings. Yesterday, I felt fine. This morning I woke up and I was so low that except for the one hour I managed to drag myself to class, I have spent the rest of my day in bed. I make doctor's and counselling appointments all the time but if I'm not feeling low on the actual day of the appointment, I have a hard time convincing myself that it's necessary.

What I do is try to write down how I'm feeling when the lowness hits, and record the date so that I have proof, when I'm feeling better, that the low feelings really did happen, that I really was having a low spell and that I really was concerned by how low I was for no reason at all.

It won't hurt for you to make an appointment with your gp. Tell him/her that you've been having these mood swings, and get a proper physical to rule out any physical causes for the sudden shifts in mood. Just tell your doctor what you've put here, maybe even bring your post along if you think you'll have a hard time explaining it. It's really hard to put this condition into words when we're not currently in the grip of it, but that doesn't invalidate the way you're feeling when you are depressed.

i hope so.easier said then done though yea?
i did write stuff down but last night when i went to write i lost my notebook and got really worried.so needless to say that made it worse.still havent found it but ive started a new one.
ive had loads of clood tests done and stuff and i was diagnosed with depression&dysthimya but i and my family thought i had gotten over it.
im jus scared its coming back

Sorry Carrie, I didn't know it was a long term thing or I wouldn't have said sadness. Others have told me that it comes and as always life has it's ups and downs. I hope the down bit for you is short lived. Try not to be scared because fear can exacerbate it I think. (does for me anyway).

I hope you have a good night there. I was in Eire once, up and down the West coast. It's a beautiful country from what I saw.

oh its fine no worries
i plan to go to bed soon and actually get a full nights sleep at last yay.
ah yes the west coast is gorgeous.going east its not half as nice!
you saw the best part lol
hope you can return again sometimes
