It will end at some point but sorry can't tell you when. You've had 3 good months which is great, but I know coming down from that can feel awful. Just keep doing what you're doing and hopefully it'll pass sooner rather than later.x

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. (hug) I don't know what else to do. I think you should call your doctor though, before it gets out of hand?

Well, if you are depressed, you have certainly come to the right place! LOL. *trying to make you laugh* Seriously, I am actually in my "good" period right now, and talking on here seems to be keeping the bad at bay. Maybe talking about it would help you. There are some really good listeners on here. They don't even get mad when you post excessively long posts. I wish you well.

Holidays are notorious for making people depressed. I think it's because we're surrounded by so much advertising and other hype about how happy and joy-filled it SHOULD be that it's hard to face the real imperfect thing.

Try to have something to do, don't be alone at the holidays. Isn't there some place you can go, someone to be with? I've spent some holidays alone, and it's not easy.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
