It's good that you can recognize the patterns, it'll be helpful in fighting off the depression. Are you seeing a doctor and/or therapist? It might be good to get in touch with them as soon as possible and let them know that you think you're on your way back down again. You don't have to sink all the way into depression, you can fight it!!

Hugs for you.

Getting extra help now may reduce the intensity and length of the depression episode, or even chase it off.

lou have u got a therapist and pdoc? it might be a good idea to let them know what's going on. sometimes they can adjust your meds for a short while to ease the episode. hope things work out and you don't have a down spiral. let us know, will u?

I say, try to keep yourself as busy as you can over the weekend, make plans with friends if possible, and try to get out of the house, even if it's a short run to the store.
And call T or pdoc Monday and let them know.
Maybe you can stop things dead in its track!!!!
And if you have no irl friends, like me, go on Chat, just to well chat.

Hope you feel better by now, but if not, go ahead and call your pdoc and/or T. That is what they signed up for!

Take Care, give yourself permission to do that!

lou my depression used to tell me the same stuff about not getting help. you are worth it and deserve to feel better! hope you will make that call to your doc. please let us know if u do or don't cause we care about you. be kind to yourself and make that call. i know you'd tell a good friend who was suffering as you, to make that call. so be your own best friend!
