I have just gone into a depressed episode and it is tough. I haven't had one this bad in awhile I have no idea what triggered it either. I'm just numb and thoughtless at the moment I hope this doesn't last very long...how long should I go before I get help? I don't feel like hurting myself, I'm just asking myself 'what caused this to come on so fast?'

I can talk about it but right now it's hard to explain so, I'm not
How do you all react when this happens?

i tend to take it in after about a week, then i try and tell someone.
if you are finding that this is getting in the way of your daily activities then i would tell; it may just be a passing moodiness.

I usually suffer until I remember to increase my antidepressants within the guidelines my doctors allow. Maybe talk with your doctor? If it gets so bad you are thinking of hurting yourself or others then the ER is the best place for you. All the best.
