brief hope

[inneedofhelp82]

I just wondered does anyone know why this happens, i am depressed alot for weeks and i lose all hope, then one day i get up and i'm ok not great but ok i am able to do housework, cook and feel abit better about myself. This only lasts a day or two then i crash again, why can't i keep it away. I sometimes feel that i use all my new found energy at once and then i'm exhausted again, or i feel like i should just go back to normal and when this doesn't happen i get so disappointed. Does this happen anyone else? Does anyone know why it happens? Currently in an ok mood i am hoping it will stay a while.

Thanks for replying, i just seem to wake up depressed or not, and no matter what i do i never feel any better, but as you say i'm sure there are alot of people like me. I am glad you have something that works for you, thanks.

No, i haven't the psychiatrist said i had major depressive disorder, i have other issues, anxiety, ocd, argraphobia, panic attacks and ptsd. The depression i have had for almost a year and it has got a lot worse, i get really suicidal and tired and so desperately depressed this lasts ages like last week i was really suicidal they almost admitted me to hospital but today i'm like a different person i am awake, energetic, doing stuff, laughing, feeling hopeful, but this time next week i could be suicidal again and so tired i can hardly move. If i was bipolar would they not have noticed by now? But then again everytime i see them i am depressed so i don't tell them about the brief mood lift. I see my psychiatrist on friday so i will mention the mood lift to him. This has been happening for months now and my moods drops so quick and i don't seem to know why. Thanks for replying.

I don't know the answer to that one but I do know your not alone I feel the same way.
I do  know for myself I felt that way yesterday I know a lack of sleep effects me and not getting up taking a shower and having written plans for the day makes a difference so I'm off to start my day Thank you for writing.
