Me too!
It's that time of year, here. Whenever the time falls back I guess the SAD kicks in and all I want to do is sleep. I'm like a hibernating bear! Work, Eat, Sleep, Repeat ... Do discuss it with your therapist, because even if you don't know what's causing it, it's real and talking about it will help. If you want to stay in bed all weekend that's okay too. I call those "snoozefests". Recovery is hard work, and you're right about it zapping all your energy ... So, don't be too hard on yourself and enjoy whatever amount of rest you need to recharge those batteries!

If your therapist is not able to quickly diagnose the problem I would consult with a psychiatrist because you may have a chemical imbalance problem that requires medication.

sometimes there isn't a real reason for depression....sometimes it's just chemical...there isn't enough serotonin in the brain or the synapse isn't firing. Sometimes you can't pinpoint it. Hang in there and try not to blame yourself.

I'll bet there is a reason. Something you need is missing in your life - I'll bet.
Probably you are so used to not having that something that you don't even think about not having it anymore. At times, you manage despite the lack. Then, at times, it catches up with you. Just a theory . . . . but I would bet a lot on it. |

But I feel the same strange depression for no reason often after I see my Psychiatrist....which is a 5 min visit!!! Maybe it's just normal...like I think that I am going to "level up" like in a game....when I see the Doctor...but I leave feeling no better???? Am I expecting recognition for all the hard recovery work or a thumbs up or I'm not sure. You actually reassure me with this post as that I am not the only one who feels this way.....maybe I can give myself a "level-up" hehehe....why not...endorse myself...I do not need it from a Doctor...I live my life....so Moguls....Level up for you today and I send one to you.....now for my nap...hehehe(sleeping does give us a chance to regenerate)

having no life situation/stressor that is causing depression is what chemical depression is. That is where meds come in. Sometimes in winter, meds have to be tweaked, adjusted, or added.
Keep in contact with the pdoc. Depression is not something one can talk themselves out of. that is called sadness or something else which is not a medical disorder.

I see, Canuck1971. You have given up hope for your heart's biggest desires. That is something to be very sad about. I am sorry.
Possibly, there is someone in the world who would like to be loved by you and who would love you back. I can't promise you. Might it be slightly possible? I am having a hard time myself, feeling blue and not believing that it will really get better. So I won't tell you positive things that I don't really believe, myself. I can tell you that I know it is hard to be hurting. It does say a lot about you that you manage to go to work and do what needs doing there. To me, that says that you deserve at least some reasonable semblance of basic contentment. I hope something happens that might help you to feel better. |

I second what Rose said. It is never "just chemical". Often it's something missing......... and that is what you should focus on. There is always a chance to start living the life you wanted (or maybe something else, but also satisfactory), although it seems impossible....
wish you the best.

Your post hits a big nail on the head - the persistent depression even when there is no obvious trauma or event that's caused it. It's just hideous, and I feel for you. You've been totally honest in this thread, and if you're totally honest with your therapist you should be on to a winner. All the best.
