Well after a few good days the depression is back on me....thought wen it lifted last week I was turning a corner.....is this how it works does anyone know it's got me knackered but hi Ho on we go plunging through the murky depths of despair lol hi ho
Yes it does work like that with most people - as you recover your mood will be up and down, with the depression and anxiety coming back. Don't worry though, it's quite normal. Just let it be there, don't try and make it go away, but you'll find it'll disappear again soon. This pattern will repeat itself many times, and each time the depressed/anxious feeling will get less and less until it disappears altogether.

Ty Kate I'm glad YOU replied as I trust ur input in these matters it's like a bloody roller coaster up n down.....sumtimes I just wanna get off n be normal again but I know I need to walk the path to get there...oh well let's start the journey again hi ho......
Thanks Ethan :-)
This happened to me when I recovered, and when I restarted the medication last year. I've also noticed it happens with others too. Don't know why it happens, but just seems part of recovery. I always say it's 2 steps forward and 3 back each time.
I remember thinking that too - just wanted it to stop, to feel normal, enjoy things again - and just as I'd think I was making progress I'd be hit with depression all over again.
It should pass soon and you'll start to feel good again. Remember this pattern will continue for a while though until it eventually stops.
