View Full Version : deep depression for some of day :-/
Ok I get this alot I get sudden really bad depressed feeling for some of day for maybe an hour or two sometimes :-(
Then I think oh im going to go mental and its scary. Is this depression or just down feeling?
Hi Fluff, I get this the same because of the extreme anxiety and panic I have been going through it has made me very depressed, like you it doesn't always last all day, mine is worst in the mornings as on waking I go straight into anx/panic, I have been keeping a diary and it goes up and down each day.
Thats a good idea im going to keep a record of mine aswell to see if there a pattern I often think im bipolar or something but im prob not x
Yes it might be times when you are low on food, for me, before lunch or before dinner. I'm fine in the evening useally when stocked up. Depression used to be called "depletion" and that's one reason why. Eat more snacks too, keep youre energy up.
I thought I had bipolar, but up and down happens over several weeks for them, not bits during the day.
Yes well I am dieting at the moment again so this could be it :-/
Ah...see I'm a bit anti-diet :blush: Dieting does cause low mood in some people, I'll try dig out some research. My dad for one. I consider being overwieght is due to lacking something rather than having too much. Could be nutritional, emotional, or on a life-level. Having less is only feeding it. That's just my view. Not only that but you ate in a way that made you happy. You are now eating in a way that doesn't make you happy. Doesn't add up. That's just my view on dieting.
Ok :-) well I think I have a prob with trying to control things in my life what I can control if that makes sence.
Feeling depressed again slightly all I know is last night I couldnt sleep well I felt scared and I have alot to think about and worrie about :-/ im sure lack of sleep makes me worse too

Hi Fluff I think that your doctor will decide whether you are suffering from clinical depression or not? Clinical depression is usually characterised by low mood and a host of other symptoms as well such as poor sleep, suicidal thoughts/ideas, inability to concentrate, inability to make decisions and a whole lot of others. When I was severely depressed even getting out of bed was an effort. I didn't really do a lot I obsessed and worried about a lot of things. Moods can dip and rise during the day and that might not mean you are depressed. Bi-polar 1 and 2 to be diagnosed by a psychiatrist and are usually characterised by long periods of depression and then mania. Some people rapid cycle as well and there are symptoms that are not bi-polar but fall within the spectrum. EJ
Yes well I have been like this for a while I went about 7 months of feeling really good. I have been told I have depression and gad before also a councellor said ptsd
Im trying to get as much support as possible now so it can make it easier to deal with xx

I think the headaches must have been from stopping caffine I had a tea out and the headache went perhaps I should cut these out slowly. Anyway shopping went well bought some summer clothes now home relaxing :-)
I woke in the night and thought god ive been though alot of bad stuff in my life already but I managed not to dwell and thought about how better things are now. Got up this morning feel good off for a picnic today :-)

I'm glad you've had another good day. :) Are your CBT sessions held during the day or in the evenings? I'd like to ask for 1:1 CBT but I wouldn't really want to have to take time off work if possible.
Its during day sparkle over the phone and they post and email you the worksheets etc. They only do mon-fri 9.00-5.00 xx
