From the 6th until last Saturday I have really felt good, I mean good like I haven’t felt in years. Sunday I started to wonder is it over, then yesterday when I saw my therapist I left feeling pretty good again but that seemed to wear off by the time I went to bed.
I don’t want to go back to feeling so bad all the time, this isn’t the crash I expected I guess a slow slide back down into depression is better than a crash landing but it still sucks. I hope this isn’t the end but I think it might be the beginning of it.

If you have had drastic mood change then call and make an appointment with your pdoc right away. Try to get an emergency appointment if necessary. Maybe you and the pdoc can work together to head off a serious depressive occurrence.

Mike:
What made you feel so good? Try to tap into that and not overthink the changes. sometimes we cycle back and forth. find the positive and stay focused. Quote:

I also appreciate your input here and hope you will keep on letting us know how things are. I really hope it isn't a slide back into depression; but if it is, maybe you can appreciate that you can feel better, and that it can happen again. It has taken me a long time to accept that, but now it does help to know that low periods will also pass.
Look after yourself

Still unsure how I’m doing, maybe it’s the newness of feeling good has worn off, or maybe this is the beginning of a backwards slide, or quite possibly the impending visit of my mother is what is making me so uncertain about things (she is coming on Friday and then leaving on Sunday). All I know for sure that awesome feeling I had a week ago is gone, I miss it, don’t want to go back to where I was before, but I’m not there at this moment, not yet at least. I’m not sure I know what I’m trying to say, but at least I haven’t crashed, at least not yet, and maybe I never will, who knows.

Emotions are transient mike,just remember this. Don't put so much value on a temporary feeling <3

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
