life is good but still sometimes feel... - Mental Health Sup...
life is good but still sometimes feel depressed. just comes on, like a thump in my chest. I hate the feeling. Does anybody else have that?
Absolutely. All the time. This time last night I was posting about how up-beat I was feeling, tonight I feel a bit down. It just comes from nowhere like a bolt out of the blue. There's nothing at all wrong with me, so I just accept that it'll pass in a day or so x
Yes yes yes.depression is like that, I don't get any thump in my chest, but I can
Be fine and then I might go for example to Tesco for shopping and all of
A sudden feel down . But it passes.

I have that feeling tonight. I know it will pass. Im off to the gym in the morning.
I was sat watching tv with my family and it came on. I have come upstairs on here, on my own, and then read this. Really strange that this feeling has come on me and then I read this.

Hi Golfer I am exactly the same as you. It comes so quickly without any warning. I feel so happy and then so low. At the moment I feel half way house, changing over meds and in a bad place right now. Not sure whether to go into work tomorrow or stay at home and feel sorry for myself. I just hate this horrible feeling it takes over your complete body and mind. I just wish I could find someone who understood me.
I'm so misunderstood.
I know how you feel. Im just working part time now as I find full time difficult. Im still anxious about work though. Im working mornings this week.
This is a horrible illness to live with and as you say people dont understand.
This is a good forum to share our thoughts and we understand each other.

Totally agree. Only told 8 weeks ago my husband of 11 years has no romantic feelings towards me. I still feel attractive inside and out so perhaps his loss
Definitely his loss!
Yes definitely, I feel it more like a lift crashing down and that happens with only a thought of something sad or negative
Likewise 'the lift' can go up with just a thought of something positive or happy and that gives me the motivation
I am a slave to my thoughts and they rule my days

I've never had what you described, but everyone's physical reaction to depression is different.
I can feel a heavy sinking feeling. In my chest like my heart is tired and sinking down and it also feels a weight has been put on my shoulders. It hits within seconds - bad news, finding out something that upsets you etc. It just kind of hits and you're low before you even realise what has happened and by that point you don't have the energy to fight it. It's horrible and I dread it coming back every day. It always does come back but I try to take advantage and enjoy feeling good when I'm not like that.
Hi I don't get the thumps now but used to. It was very weird and seemed to come completely out of the blue and my mood just collapsed into chaos. x
I totally get you. Same for me, I am there at them moment. Husband told me he has no love or romantic feelings towards me at all. My world has completely collapsed around me
Hi Lottie I'm so sorry about your husband telling you
That awful news. Depressed would be the least I would be feeling , maybe murderous would be a better name. That's awful it's no wonder you feel down. Have you talked about counselling or
Did he say what has led to this declaration.
Healing hug

He said my depression has led him to this feeling said he has been unhappy for years. Hurts like a knife through my heart. Not much I can do right now having operation on Monday next week gallbladder removed, together with change over of meds
Lottie please totally focus on yourself right now.
Focus on your mental and physical health. Marriage should be I think in sickness and in health, have you told him how this makes you
Feel. Please keep coming here for support, and
You will get through this difficult time, all marriages
Have ups and downs.

Yes, certainly I can feel fine for a while and then suddenly and seemingly for no reason feel incredibly low again. I think sometimes it is linked to hunger, tiredness or the weather , but at the time I find it hard to imagine I will ever feel ok again although of course I do. Such is the nature of depression. x
---- like a switch being thrown. But like some of the other guys said, i know it will pass over sooner or later. Still feels lousy when the switch is thrown. The best i can do is use the techniques i am slowly learning to get through it with a less bumpy ride..
I constantly feel like this, my moods vary from week to week, I have a good week then I feel depressed and emotional the week after, during the week where I feel depressed and emotional and yes
