Yes it is.

But since you can sense it TRYING to come, can you do anything to prevent it from actually getting you?

Or at least minimize the down?

Yes. And I do everything to prevent it from happening. That , for me, is a time for complete honesty with the man/woman in the mirror and then, a mental health professional. We are so very vulnerable at times like these. I am glad you are reaching out.

Yep, and now is the time to catch it before it snowballs. Sometimes it feels like trying to pull yourself out of quicksand :(

When it happens I am powerless to control it. Like standing on a beach watching a 50ft wave roll in. Knowing it will destroy me and all around me.

I know what you are talking about ......for me when I go dowen ..it just happenes ...no ....worning ...ok one minit and not the next ....so you need to put positive things into your life right away ...you have to start fighting it as soon as .you see it coming .....think about why it is comming on ...so think about what has been going on in your life ....and see what you find ....there usualy is a reason you. go dowen .it might not be just one thing ..but a number of things ...that together ..are dragging you dowen ....so ...yith that info you will know what has.to be changed in your life .....the negitive things have to be removed ...and more positive things put in there place .....any drama ..has to stop ...so you might have to stop seeing certin people so much ....or stop seeing them altogether ....so you look after you ...the sooner you look after this ..the btter ..the outcome ...you won't go dowen so far ...and you realu need to talk .things out ..so it would be good if you had a counclour or a phicatrist ....talking is very important ....I can't stress it enough .....so you take care ...God bless ..and let me know how you. are doing ..ok ...hugs .

Yes, I feel the down coming and it's horrible. I need to remind myself that it's only temporary and I'll come out of it sooner or later. I like to sleep through it, or listen to music.

Sometimes sleeping helps and others it does not.
