I know what you mean! I feel fine for a few weeks, then the dark clouds descend and before I know it I'm sinking fast. When you look back after you come back up, it seems ridiculous that you didn't see it coming, but it is very subtle.
It's only this week that I've realized that my depression is a cycle -- last week I was unbearably irritable and short-tempered. This week I can't make myself go to bed and sleep... can't remember what next week should be!
I guess the good news to draw from this is that when you're down you know you'll soon be turning the corner and heading up again.
Is this how you feel?
Keep remembering the "up" phase and aiming at that.
