Depressive Episode

[Just_breathe_1]

has anyone else ever been a bit too optimistic that they might not have another depressive episode? I’m on so many high-dose meds and yet I’ve hit rock bottom again after about a year of not bursting into tears every five minutes. Does it get easier to deal with? I’ve just had a university test and I could barely get any answers out… it’s as though my brain decided to shut out everything.

I know from experience that it gets better, but I’m having a hard time believing that right now.

Been there for sure, sometimes I'll be with friends or at an activity and I'm having a great time or even a great day. sometimes even a great week, and then like magic it disappears. It's one of the toughest feelings I know, going from ok to on the edge. I can't tell you that it will change, it always frustrates me when people say things like that. But I will say that the nice moments will start to outweigh the lower ones. I always like listening to music or reading a memoir about depression (makes me feel like the author know what I'm going through). If you want any tips or anything on what I do to feel a little better during an episode, then definitely lmk!
