does anyone experiance this?

[HolyOne87]

My depression seems to come in waves, like it will start to roll in...then get really bad...then will slowly leave....then later (few mins...or few years...) it will happpen again...

anyone else feel like this?

i know how that is. And sometimes it happens at the wrong times too...and when you least expect it.I am like that a lot. Last month, I was fine one day, then the next completely depressed(sometimes for no reason). I'll be like that for a few days, then without anything helping, I'd feel better.
Like others said, take things one step at a time. I've been doing that for the past few weeks and things havent been too bad.
I hope things get better! hopefully things will be less of a roller coaster for you.

thank you a lot for your advice! I have made a list of aims, but I shall do it again. I used to give myself goals for each day, small goals, as well as tasks to tick off; this motivated me. I also gave aims for each month. Perhaps I should do this again.

I desperately need to do exersize, as although I am vegan I am extremly out of shape, and exersize is proven to make one feel better. I am afraid of failure though, so tend to not to things incase I fail, which I know is silly. But I plan on going swimming a few times a week, and using my esersize bike daily, I just need to get myself motivated!

Please be careful not to overdo it. Depression can strike any day and wipe your schedule of the charts. I recommend you first make goals for each day as you go along, much less chance of failure.

God bless

Yes I know what you mean. Sometimes i'll be fine for a few days or months even, and then I just sink into deep depression, but I come back out of it. Every once in a while I'll even have days where it'll happen rapidly throughout the day ... one minute I'll feel fine, the next I'll wish the roof would cave in on me.

Some very good advise here. Exercise really does seem to help. It certainly works for me.
