Post-happiness depression and anxiety

[HipHopHead]

I had a great weekend away with my girlfriend. When I woke up this morning at the resort, the anxiety slowly started to creep in. As we drove home it got worse and once I was alone I broke down in tears. Why do I fall into a depression and panic after having a good time. It’s like I’m afraid I’ll never have it again. I hate that my ability to function and be happy is dependent on other people

I have plenty of good and bad days with my anxiety, stress, and depression.

I try to "take it all in" on my good days, and try my best to survive on my bad days.

.

All of that sounds like simple/obvious advice, but until I can get more consistent with my good and bad days, it's the best advice that I have at the moment.

Howdy HipHopHead. That is rough. I do think it is natural to have an emotional low when you have to go back to the daily grind. This is especially true if your job induces anxiety. I have a hard time when I get done golfing facing the rest of the week 😜 I also generally have it rough coming back from a vacation. So there is that and you can understand the low and be compassionate with yourself.

Do you go to therapy or take meds for your anxiety/depression? Therapy is designed for understanding and resolving these emotions ❤️. I wish you peace, hope, and strength
