Help.
I've been doing really well for about 3 months now. My mood has lasted the longest it has 'stableish' and I've been able to get back to work after nearly 2 years again. I've felt so good some days. Of course there have been not so good days but the determination was still there to carry on.
In the last week though I can feel my mood coming down. I've had some really bad days and rather than like before, I can't seem to pick myself up again. I'm worried this is it again for months, just like before. The downs last so much longer than the ups :(
I'm supposed to be trying to get back to work full time but I'm only doing a couple of mornings a week at the moment. I was so enthusiastic but as usual with the negative thoughts creeping in again, I'm finding myself doubting myself about whether it's what I want, and whether I am capable of holding down such a stressful job. But when I'm good I love it so much! I'm so torn. I don't know what the best thing to do is.
Just looking for some support I guess.

now to be serious . I am sorry you are feeling down again. This is what depression does. Up and down up and down. Did you talk to your dr. Maybe now that you are having more activity you may need your meds adjusted. Just a thought. Be good to yourself and kind and loving.
