I have this recurring cycle of being depressed and then okay. For instance, last week I was depressed for about a week, and I was on the verge of suicide, the thoughts in my head would not stop. And then all of a sudden this week I am better, I don't have suicidal thoughts and I can make it through the day. What are these symptoms. My mother has a mental illness so I fear I may get it. I hate my depressive state because I feel worthless and on the edge.

Hello, Runs with the eagle. Wow. Looking at several of your other posts I see you are dealing with an assortment of significant stressors. I agree that you will most probably require some sort of assistance in successfully dealing with what you face. Does your university offer counseling?
My experience of depression is less episodic and more persistent. Yours is more episodic. It's all still depression.

I do, and I am not sure why. I am on hold regarding pdocs because of an issue with my medical insurance so I do not have anybody to ask about it, but I am also interested in this issue

Yep, all the time. And my lows aren't very severe, yet I feel like melancholy is my baseline.

Yes. I like to call it "episodic depression." Periods where I feel miserably depressed and within the next day, week, or month(s) I feel normal again.
