Depressed Again

Am back on this website after about 7 years. I have been feeling really well, i have stayed on medication but been fine and then wham my depression came back with a massive dose of anxiety. I hate the way i feel most of the time, then i have a day where i feel ok and think of im better then the next day its back to feeling low again. Its very frustrating and being on this rollercoaster of emotions is exhausting. I hve looked for local support groups and managed to find one which is helping me, but i feel like there must be some answer to this that i am not seeing. A way to help myself for good so it wont happen again.
would be interested to hear what anyone else thinks?

Hi sorry your not feeling so good, I think it's important to remember that we a humans experience ups and downs, life is full of joy and pain excitement sadness, the whole gamut of emotions. We are not alone while expressing his emotions always brought comfort to mis experience ups and downs, life is full of joy and pain excitement sadness, the whole gamut of emotions, as brought comfort to me, in life I have messed up, but I believe you today I was given it was another chance to get it right, and even when I do feel OK sometimes ever run into people that were vicious it did not have good intentions, but to learn not to let other people's shortcomings or ill feeling shap mines

Hello and welcome back. Have you tried therapy? That could help you see if there is a root cause to your depression. Although sadly, I think if someone suffers from depression in their life there will always be the risk for relapse.

thankyou for your replies, like i said i havent been on this site for a while and i am struggling a bit to remember how it all works.
i have tried counselling in the past and i am currently waiting for some again. Its really the only thing that is offered apart from CBt which they havent offered me this time and medication which i am taking.
i just hate the way i feel and its really hard to cope with.

I just read an article in local newspaper here in St. Louis about a chemical compound that is related to the brain functions and they have had success with relieving people of forgetfulness with this compound but also that it has helped peoples mood too....I forget what it is called but it was in the st. Louis Post Dispatch two days ago in the front page section and about helping people with memory loss...they actually can sell this stuff and it is a cost $55 for month supply but it has a works or free guarantee for ya...I wish I remembered the name....go to STLToday.com? I think that is the newspaper website....

It sounds like you are having a relapse, which can happen. In my opinion, the best way to try to avoid a relapse is to work on self-care on a routine basis. What are you doing to take care of yourself?
