The past few days have been very difficult. I feel my mental health declining after a long time of being fairly stable. I've had some passive thoughts about dying.

that's disappointing at best. has anything unusual happened or
did the depression and thoughts just come out of the blue?
hoping that you have time to catch the darkness in it's tracks and reverse
this. you have recognized the signs of depression. do you have a therapist or psychiatrist?

Do you seek help at all? I know these bad days are a struggle and a fight to keep going. Day at a time though and reach out if you can here or to others.

Perhaps you would need a change of antidepressants or its doses because you have breakthrough episodes of depression.

Thank you all for the kind replies. I think I’m going to re-engage in therapy because I haven’t been talking to anyone at all.

Yes do talk and also get out of the house as much as possible sometimes being there too much can manifest bad thoughts. Make sure you're not isolated from people

sorry you have been feeling badly lately.

Thank you, I had a somewhat better day today, but the underlying depression is still present. It kind of feels like I don’t have that much more to look forward to in life.

I think I know what you mean. Seems like a lot of us are in the same boat. Glad you had a better day today.

Can't wait to burn my pumpkin spice candle! National Coffee Day is coming up on the 29th so I hope to score up on a free coffee.
