Depression ...why does it come and go?!


Question: Depression !.!.!.why does it come and go!?
I haven't been officially diagnosed with depression !.!.although I have gone to psychotherapy and had therapists tell me that I was suffering from it!. I also have generalized anxiety disorder!.!.!.

Anyways, why do my moods vary so much day to day!. Even though out the day!.!.I may start my day happy, and the smallest thing can happen to make me SO depressed!. Some days I get out of bed feeling like I'm going to cry and it lasts all day!. Other days I am happy all day!.

Is this consistent with depression and GAD!? My moods are just so unstable!.!.!.it takes nothing to make me cry!. Yet some days nothing gets me down!. What's going on!? I'm sure it's not bipolar b/c my "highs" are not at all manic!.!.!.

Any one have any ideas/experience/advice!?

It's a chemical imbalance so the levels fluctuate!. Moods are effected and can effect everything around you, so if you are unbalanced chemically, the slightest tip in the scale can have drastic results!.

Medication can help, but not cure!. Remember that!.

My brother and aunt are depressed and I am mildly depressed, but more mood swing/nervousness!. I guess the only thing I can say is join a support group, medication, or natural destresses, like music, bathes and such!. I do the music thing and it works and mellows me out and helps me balance myself!. I have a friend with severe OCD and depression who meditates!. My brother and his fiance, also anxiety and stress, do the bath and music thing!.

Like I said though, medication can help and if you don't want to try the more homeopathic route, you can try medication!. But you need to be the informed patient!. ALWAYS ask questions and ALWAYS do research!. ALWAYS ALWAYS read the side-affects!. I had this one medicine, which I was told was safe, that gave me hand tremors and migraines and vomiting within a day of taking it!. One of the side-affects was DEATH!.

Yeah!. Just, be informed!. No one knows your body better than you do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

with bipolar your highs dont have to necessarily be manic

if your lows or lower than the norms so will your highs

so if youre sadder than an average bipolar person then your highs will be lower too

you might want to go to a psychiatrist or psychologist and get it checked out if its affecting your daily life

people with depression are usually anxious from what my practitioner told meWww@Answer-Health@Com

You need to tell somebody about this, quick!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The reason is because life sucks sometimes!. Bad things happen, people get hurt, laid off, die!. It just happens!. Its normal to sometimes just be in a bad mood!. Too many people rush to pills and think they are depressed when they really are not!. Try to relax and understand life puts us in bad situations and of course we will get upset about it!. If it becomes a steady thing then see a doctor!. I am bi-polar so I have no choice but to be on medication!. Also, if your doctor says you suffer from depression, make sure you research different drugs before you go on one!. Some make people feel even worse!. You may have a little bit of anxiety too which is normal!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're probably wondering why I am waisting my time writing an answer for you!. Not to just get 2 points on this website, but to also help one of the depressed people out there like you, who seem to think there's no hope!. Maybe your life will be saved!.

What you don't realize is, that it seems like you need someone to talk to or change the subject for you!.

You know, if you think the way you look is what people don't like you for, you are absolutely wrong!! It's not that at all!. you look like no one else and that's a great thing!. Looking like you and staying the same is an incredibly strong thing already, you see, you're already stronger!. If i met you, i wouldn't judge you on the way you look, but because of your personality!. People don't like people who are depressed!. You probably looked or sounded miserable!. Hey, there are incredibly ugly people who are famous, such as Quentin Tarantino and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and i'm sure you look much better than them!!! What does this mean!? it means you can be a great person if you're just happy about everything and get on with your work!.

Depression is a horrible thing, and i have had it too, but that was because of a family member passing away, well, my brother and my grandfather!. You're luck the people you love haven't died yet!.

Actually, you seem really weak and spoilt!!

If you want to have a life, you need to pick yourself up and see the good side in everything, and stop crying for gods sake

Depression is curable, that's why everyone else is happy!. because they cure themselves!.
to be honest, you have two choices:
-therapy
-get to your senses and do something to begin your own life!. think to yourself that you are being stupid for upsetting yourself this much, do your coursework to the best of your ability, even if you think you're not good at it, and always talk to someone if you feel like crying!. don't keep it inside you!. If everyone else can cure themselves, so can you

Go for it, eat well, live well, never be lonely and have a lovely, happy life!!!
Let us all know how you've been doing ;)
