When your mood comes crashing down

[@yb958]

It really helps knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. I may have a sharp 'upbeat' mood and be in an excited mood, but then for the rest of the week experience a gradual drop to depression. I always think 'oh no. I am going to always be like this. Nothing has changed but everyone has moved on, but me.' Its hard to constantly compare yourself to your present self and past self (before we got sick) and even worse when we compare ourselves to others. It helps talking about this.

I agree, it's hard not to make comparisons and that drop to depression is tough. It does help talking about this, thanks for adding to the conversation. Best of luck managing your moods, I'm sending big hugs. Take care

Hi Oliver, I'm pleased you had a good week. Yeah the crash is awful, it happens by surprise sometimes. Thanks for the video suggestion. Take care and have a good week. Hugs x

The Little Blue Pot Hi Gem, thanks have a lovely week too, that’s okay I just thought it would help others and the channel 😊

Hi Gem! Sorry to hear you haven’t had a great week. I haven’t either. I think my newest antidepressant is making me the worst I’ve ever been. I’m not suicidal, but I can’t focus at all (which isn’t helpful in high school) and I feel like I have to fight so much resistance to even move. I spoke to a teacher today because he asked me if I was feeling okay. It helped to just let things out since I don’t have another therapy appointment for a couple more days. I go back to the psychiatrist tomorrow, though. So hopefully I can get off of this horrible med. Thanks for all your videos, they make me feel less alone ❤️

Hi Nikki, sorry you haven't had a good week. If the meds are making you worse then it sounds like you are best to come off them, just be honest with the psychiatrist and I'm sure they will try you on something else. I'm pleased you were able to talk to your teacher, it really helps to let things out. Best of luck with your therapy and medication, make sure to let me know how you get on. Take care. Hugs x

Hi Gem, sorry to hear you had a dip this week. Good to see you getting out about and starting to feel better. I hope your mood has continued to improve. I've had someone ask to shadow me at work which has been really positive. They are really interested in what I do, ask great questions and I've really enjoyed working with them. Well done with your diet. I've been on the slim fast during the day and then having a normal meal in the evening. I've not dared to go near the scales yet but clothes that were getting tight over Christmas are a bit looser so that is a good sign of progress. All the Best. Simon

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Hey Simon, well done doing slim fast, I'm pleased you are noticing results. That's great you have someone shadowing you, it sounds like a really positive experience. I hope you have a good week dude. Take care. Gem
