@secretwhitepop- I'm with you on this. Mine came back again too, or started too. Then I realized that I hadn't been taking good care of myself-not enough rest, or eating the right foods or drinking enough water and not exercising. I started back on these goals today and I'm beginning to feel better. It's an awful feeling isn't it? But sometimes I do get feeling sad about something and confuse it with depression. Twenty years is a long time on one medicine that controls your moods. Do you think that it's time to change something or get an additional medication for a short time to see you through your stressful times?

There’s a lot in my life that is huge right now. It seems everything happens at once and they are all those “major” stressors everyone talks about. Today is another day and it doesn’t feel as dark. I know what you mean about confusing a depressing or down day with Depression. It sort of snowballs and takes on a life of its own based on past experiences. Thank you for your helpful words!
