Hi, I'm new here. I have had major depressive disorder all my life but was just diagnosed about three years ago. I'm on prozac now and usually I'm fine but every once in a while I'll have a day where I feel like I did before I started. It never lasts longer than a day or two but it's not a normal mood. Does anyone else have this happen?

Hi Mareia, welcome to PC!
 I have bad spells too, despite the meds. They put me out of commission for anywhere from a day to a week at a time. Not fun! It helps for me to make note of any triggers for my depression. For instance I'm more likely to hit a rough patch if I haven't been sleeping/eating properly, if I'm under a lot of stress, etc. Are there any things you know for certain set off your depression, and can you do anything to minimize their impact? Best of luck!

The path I am on has a bump or two.
Wish you the best, Mareia. |

Yes I agree that every path has bumps...it's just how we handle the bumps that makes the difference.
