It's like a flick of a switch ...

[I_am_41m33]

It's like a flick of a switch and I don't know how to control it, there are no suicidal thoughts and not harm done just wild and unusual thoughts, I was never diagnosed with depression but a couple months back I suffered something anong the lines of it. I'm fine now, like I said there is no harm being done, I just get into a state of mind where I think about all the bad things in my life or that could happen and I don't want to shut it off so I let it be. I've never hurt myself but, my mood just changes, there is never anything that normally triggers it, I was just wandering if anyone has ever been through this and might now what it is ?

Many thanks

If you don't bounce back from mood changes and they are frequently occurring or are interfering with your life, you need to consider that you may have/be developing a mental illness.

Through research that many of these mental health conditions are caused by a combination of genetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors. You do not need a specific trigger to set a biological condition.

You do not have a personal weakness or a character defect. Recovery from a mental illness is possible with the right kind of help, usually with psychological (talking) therapy.

Not being a mental health professional, I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor. Make a longer appointment than usual so that you can cover everything, even take a copy of you blog here.

Let us know how you go

Yes, I've had this many times but it's not a bad thing, it's a sign your starting to recover. It's called ruminating, my cpn told me when it happenes, don't fight it, just allow it to subside. Or you can do this handy technique she showed me, where by when you think about it, you ask yourself can you change the situation if not, you imagine putting it in a file, and store it right at the back of your head. It sounds pretty odd, but I've done this, and yes it works sometimes it takes a few attempts but trust your belief and it will workxx
