I can feel it slipping up on me, unwanted, unneeded, but nonetheless like a flesh eating demon, it continues to creep despite my attempts to keep it at bay and none of the the coping skills are stopping it.
So much to look forward to, but it looks so distant suddenly, within my grasp but out of my reach. Still I reach hoping, that I will not falter again, that relapse is a myth and I tell myself I past this, to no avail, because still it creeps it, surrounds me, caresses me it's cruelty and whispers all is lost, everything was for nothing, that I am a failure and I believe.

I can totally relate, I felt that way from August til yesterday, I kept trying to explain it to people...the depression wins...sometimes, I don't choose it Who would? Anyway, only thing that helped me was knowing I wasn't alone. If ever I can do anything, please let me know.

Mine doesn't creep up: it never goes away. Don't know if that helps.

Thanks Tk, if it was a battle that could be fought by strength in numbers we would all never suffer again by the care and help we receive here! I just completed a manic cycle, I should have seen this coming, I keep thinking. Now it's here and I don't want to face it! I want it to just go away, fast, like yesterday!

I can't remember the last time I cried and now I sit here with tears streaming down my face and don't know why. Nothing I can point my finger at and say thats what done it! I can't go thru this again! I won't go thru this again! I cannot go back to where death walked beside me!

Not sure how this can help, except to know you are not alone. I too thought I was done with all this since starting Seroquel, but the last few days have just gotten worse and worse and now I'm back to being "stuck", depressed, and hopeless again. I was actually stupid enough to think I found the miracle cure pill and I would lead a normal happy life...HA!

Can you call your pdoc right away and put this in check? No need to suffer through a depression if there is something that may help you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
