it sure is a rollercoaster ride, one ive riden waaay tooo long!! im havin one of those days myself again.....hope your day gets better

Oh, my gosh, i totally know how you feel. Why????????????????? I having one of those days too. On Friday, I was having such a bad day, but found a way to push trough and stay positive. today I can't help but be mad at life for making me this way.

faith i know what u mean, totally hatin everything right now

I understand your anger today I am also mad at life, God, and the universe for letting me feel this way. It makes me want to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had enough!

sleep you must be reading my mind. I've been on that rollercoaster for too long and I want to get off. It's a never ending ride.

I am just so sick of it! I thought the meds would help.I don't know which is worse being down all the time or having a few good days just to hit bottom again cause the fall hurts.

It's scary but now I'm starting to understand where my fathers head was. He had depression as an adult and he started self medicating with prescription pain meds. Now I understand his need to feel better.

It would be nice if the meds we take worked and kept working. But they seem to(as robyn555 would say)poop out after a while.

I'm not having too down of a day today and yesterday was great but I know it's just a matter of time before my next down day. It seems I've had several in a row before having a great Sunday yesterday.

Yeah, sleep I know how you feel. I am on the upside of the rollercoaster, right now. I think its frustrating , because like you said, this is the point you think you have a chance. You feel like "hey, there aint nothing wrong with me," then BAM!!! I with you sleep hangin there

Hi Sleep1261,

While I am not having a down day today, I know how it can be at times. {{{Big Hugs}}}}

The struggle to overcome the feelings and tiredness along with the constant back/forth, up/down is not easy.

Still you and all of us continue to press on inspite of and regardless of some days good and other days being saddening.

I pray the beacon of light that shines through always and overpowers the darkness of depression will be upon you today.

p.s There are those times it helps to take deep breathes and breathe out slowly doing this until you feel the ehaviness in your body and soul literally lighten up.

And thereafter allow yourself to look at what is making the depression come on.

That way you will be best able to figure out a solution or resolve needed.

Love to you

Depression is a roller coaster ride. On the good days we are holding our hands in the air going weeeeee. On the bad days we just have to old on to the saftey harnesses that we have and hold on until the good days. It sucks. But I understand.

I'm feeling the same way. Two "good" days in a row. Now it's back down in the crapper again. Will it ever end?

yes, today is one of those days for me as well. the worst part about the roller coaster is that you can't even be fully happy on your "good" days because you're always worrying/wondering when the next bad day will come again. Good luck today.

I would love to know what brings on these down days. I have tried to figure that one out. In my life it seems to have no clear triggers. My doctor believes my depression is not situational but genetic. I just get fruastrated with the ups and downs. They seem to cycle so frequently.
