It’s different for everyone I think. I know mine last for days, to weeks, and even months.

Goodness! It’s so different for everyone and my episodes are also individually different. Most of mine have lasted for months and years...that’s just me! Yours may be totally different. Remember, nothing changes until we change. Those are words to live by, my friend! 💐🙂💐

oh man... that's a tough one... like Here_am_I said... everyone is different... you can try some self pampering or doing something you like...even if it's nothing much...just any positive till you come out of the other side of this thing...writing here helps me a lot come out of my blues faster.... support from others who understand is very healing I think.
