How can we feel so radically different about ourselves from day to day? For the last few weeks I felt like I was finally starting to get my act together after years of slipping in and out of lesser and greater depressed states. I was almost confident and as euphoric as I get. I felt like I was really in sync with my therapist. For the last couple of days I feel only failure and I get all wrapped up in these suicidal ruminations, and therapy seems like yet another struggle that I can't succeed at. I look around me and see nothing but a husband I can't communicate with, kids whose needs I'm not meeting, friends who don't particularly need me, clients I'm neglecting, and problems I need to address although I can't seem to find the focus to deal with them. All of this makes me feel like I way at least 10 lbs more than I did last week.
Sorry for all the rambling.

Mair at least hold some comfort in the fact that you now can know that things can go good (if even for a short period of time). The hard part now is to see if you can look back and figure out how you got there and try to mimic those events again. At the point I am at now I would just like to feel that elation again if even for a short time. I see a hint of strength in you by your post and I hope that you can get back to that "happy place" again.
L8R,
