Ok _ maybe I shouldn't have said that I felt better, cos now I'm just depressed again. I can't stop crying....thats what I hate the most. So what do i do now ? Ask the doctor for a dose increase? Just end it all, cos its obvious that the whole of my life will be spent like this ? Could this just be major PMT and I'll be OK after my period ????
I am just not normal. I feel as though all the normal people out there are having fun and I just seem really quiet and they probably think i'm weird. There is no magic pill I realise that i am gonna be trapped like this forever now.
I feel so unstable. One minute I am OK and happy, talking about the future etc, being nice to my boyfreind. The next i'm here, I feel terrible, being horrible to my boyfriend. I don't get myself. Why the hell am I like this ? How can I expect others to stick around wjem i have such major mood swings ???
Most importantly why ????????Why is this happeneing ????????
Sorry ..

Dear Jane,
I find that I always get much worse a few days before my period and then for the first couple of days. It usually takes me a day or so to realise why I feel so much worse, and then I just try to accept that I am going to have lots of ups and downs. It is hard, though.
I can't answer why. All I can say to you is stick with it, try to just live through the next few days, and hopefully things will brighten up a bit.
Hugs, Rach

In my 'suicide agreement' thread above Ritch posted some very good ideas; please read his post. My lame paraphrase of it is he reminds himself that a severe depression (and I would include other intense episodes) is his biological stuff acting up and it will pass. I like that perspective a lot, I believe it is true, and it gives one a little spark of hope.
As to why, I would venture to say that is not a question we will have an empirical answer to any time soon. The usefulness of the question is that it expresses our frustration, anger, confusion, fright, and all those other feelings we have about our conditions.
I hope you feel better soon, and til then I hope you will just hang in.
Shar
