Need advice on relapse

sepi

I'd been doing well for a few weeks and last night I nose dived into depression AGAIN!! There were a couple of triggers but nothing devastating.

I thought this morning I'd be back to normal again, but I feel the same...

I don't feel like doing anything, my desires to read to surf the internet, to write in my journal,to go out on my date tonight have vanished!

I'd been exercising,showing up to work,writing, dating, and now I'm back in the pits again...

I want out of this mood, but I'm out of ideas...Any advice?

I get those dives into depression with no warning also. There seems to be no triggers. Meds seem to help most of the time. So I agree with Becky if youre not on meds that might be a place to start. Like Becky said keep talking there is always someone here to listen. It helps.
