Hi, Wildflower. I'm just coming out of my latest fog. I was bewildered by it because I've had months of improvement. As my friends here reminded me, forwards and backwards are the rule for depression. It doesn't so much get better than it stops getting worse, and then it fades.
The hardest thing for me to do is cut myself some slack when I am feeling so wretched. I don't try to hide it at work anymore (mostly because it takes too much energy), but keep to myself in my quiet turtle shell. If you're a task oriented person, cut your housework or office work into bite sized pieces. Don't try to do too much or you'll only get upset with yourself.
Hang in there - this will pass.
