I'm okay. It's not that bad. I can handle this. I'm just having a moment. I am being dramatic.
Anyone else fight the idea of being depressed? Usually I need people around me to start saying something is off before I will admit to myself that maybe I need a little help. __________________ "There is no great genius without some touch of madness." |

Yes I have been there. I think it is our positive side working hard to keep us well. It just shows that negativity does not cause depression. Depression brings us down and causes us to be negative.
I get what you are saying about not even noticing you are feeling depressed. My GP was told me I had reactionary depression as my mood would change a lot. Little did I know that I really had Complex PTSD. Slowly over time it has taken over my life and brought me down. I try, but I am not good at it, to attempt to regularly assess my mood. Much respect and peace to you

Yes, I can relate. I seem to slip into faulting everyone and everything around me of how bad it is. Obscessing about my physical health, trying to convince myself that I have virus, anemia etc. causing exhaust and sick feeling. I've learned to identify these thoughts at some threshold and then I come to psychcentral for depression test to see if I qualify. Then I can feed relieved that it's the same old depression I have learned to cope with, not a dramatic disease I've had fantasies having.
Keep tracking your moods, acknowledgment helps. Hugs! __________________ Bipolar I Meds: Lamotrigine as mood stabiliser Agomelatine and Sertralin as antidepressant Zopiclonum for sleeping when needed Lectopam to calm down when mixed |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
