Sinking fast

Anyone else suddenly sink and can't shake it off. Have battled depression before and hate the thought of what's to come. Anti depressants never worked,just time but it takes so long. Thought I'd try talking to strangers who feel the same.

I feel that I am slowly getting worse and worse. It scares me because I thought I was finally getting better, but then when I least expect it, my anxiety and depression came back even worse than before. It makes me feel so discouraged and that I have no control.

It is probably cyclic. You improved, you felt depressed again & on it goes. Perhaps you're not getting worse, just not getting out of the cycle. See your GP & maybe you can get a therapist.one or thevother might be able to help with some meds. You don't need to do it all alone. Hang in there. We're here for you.
