Down

[Ashes]

I feel very sad today.  I dont know what my problem is nothing has changed.  I hate feeling this way and hope that it is not the start of a depressive episode.  It really sucks that we cant have a bad day without the fear of what is to come. I have been taking my meds as ordered and I still feel like I am falling apart, all I want to do is cry.

that is the part that is difficult to grasp. You would think that because you are on meds, everything will be ok now from here on out.... But that is not the case. These doctors need to explain to patients that the meds are not going to cure you. You are still going to have periods of ups and downs, just not as many. (well, if the meds work that is...)

I hope you feel better soon. It sucks to feel down for no reason. Just remember that this will pass eventually. Try to find the silver lining....

hate that its like what phyllis said though you never get to '"normal" forever, its only temporary it seems you swing up and down and the meds only kinda seem to help regulate it to less up and down like last week was bad for me even though i have many good things going on and im on meds i got real low and paranoid out of no where then it goes away then its back and its like all i want to do is drink it away but thats not healthy i think having a hobby that keeps you busy helps alot to kinda put the energy your feeling into something and gives you something positive out of the negative feelings that your having and the more you work on your hobbies the easier it becomes to do it even when it gets really bad although sometimes its so bad you can hardly pull yourself together to do much of anything and its like sometimes its like stick your head out the window and yell hheelllppp!!! or even come get me you $@&^&%ers!! hope you feel better though
