I can wake up, feel like myself ... be happy and think the depression is subsiding but them come lunch time or 5:00 pm feel depressed again. I keep thinking this will never end and that I will forever feel this way. Every time I feel like myself I get scared that it is fake and that I am going to get depressed within the same day and it happens. What can i do to stay feeling like myself ? I can’t control the anxiety or when the depression hits it’s been like an on and off switch for 4 days
I go through the exact same thing I genuinely am not even sure who I am anymore I don't know if when I feel okay if it's genuine or if it's the calm before the storm. All you can do is be true to yourself & try not too analyze it so much. If you feel okay that's great if not that's okay too. Just don't expect stability because depression can be a constant rollercoster of emotions. It does level out you just have to give yourself time x
Hi Ruby... since I have been on Zoloft ... balanced out with a anti-anxiety medicine... the major depression & anxiety have not come back. I do feel like myself now... more than ever. Depression is an enemy that stays around.... unless you have a weapon(medicine) to defeat it... I hope this helps & I am praying for you xx Hugs :-)))
Thank you Rose! Im glad it has gotten better for you! I am also on Zoloft and I do have anti anxiety meds, *im afraid to take those* and I hope this goes away. Reading your reply was uplifting because I always feel like I am alone in this or that I’m going crazy
