Hello
For years, I would sink into a depression that would last about 3 days. I could feel it coming on and for half a day, I would 'sink' into this blackness. It was so intense, I could barely move. Thinking of positive aspects of my life had no effect on my mood, and realizing this, I would sink deeper and deeper. The only logical thought in my head was suicide - the thought was the only thing that stabilized my mood. Fortunately, I was barely able to move so I couldn't act on this. I'd stay in this space for a day, and then on the third day, I would rise out of it again.

Recently, my partner noticed these episodes would come on a few days after getting really angry. Since then, I have avoided the intense anger, and haven't had an episode since. I still get angry sometimes, and stronger anger will bring a milder version of this 3 day ordeal, but nothing like before. I feel like these are obviously related, but is there a name for it? Thank you.
Hugs from:

Hello. Welcome to PC. I don't know what or if it has a name (hopefully other posters will) but I've experienced it myself. I just wanted to welcome you.

Anger and Depression are related. Both often go together.

It does sound like depression, it's good you can come out of it. You might like to try these quizzes https://psychcentral.com/quizzes/

Please see a doctor as there are many medications/therapy that can help this.
