Losing Hope

Hello Everyone,

I thought I was out, I let myself believe that I was free from this pit, but no - I'm not. I felt better last Sunday. Better then I've felt in a long long time. I thought I was out, like my depression was actually something that I could look back on from that point forward. But now that feeling is gone, and I actually had allowed myself to hope that it was over. Now that I'm back to feeling the way I was before, I'm just a mess again. It hurt so much, I'm just a mess, and I don't feel like I can escape this. I'm broken - I just need to accept that I'm not getting better. Has anyone else dealt with this back and forth too? If so, how did they deal with it? Thank you all for lending an ear and helping.

Stay safe everyone.

I felt so down last week I wanted to go IP. Now I feel better. I don't even know what to think anymore. I understand where you're coming from. I hope you're feeling better soon.

My depression has been bad for years. I haven't found the right treatment or answers. Last night, I felt a little better, but today I'm in the pit of despair again. I don't know what to think other than this is part of being depressed. Some days are OK, others are bad. I try to think more about the fact that good days will come even though bad days will probably, too.

Thank you. I'm feeling the same way. Just as lost as ever.
