I'm depressed again. I've felt it coming on for a while now. Ugh. How long till I feel better? Anyone else ever notice you can "feel" your depression creeping up on you?

Mine feels like its creeping up like a bank of fog. Cold and dank, makes it hard to see clearly, makes you tired from trying. I wait the fog out, because the depression eventually lifts. Be very kind to yourself! Cry if it feels better to.

I can feel when it is 'creeping up on me' too. It's hard when you know it's coming, and there's nothing that you can do to stop it. Take care of yourself, ride it out, and keep remembering that sometimes you won't be as depressed as this and things will seem better soon.

I'm sorry. :( Is there anything that normally helps at these times? Meds or increased therapy? Or do you just have to ride it out.
I'm notoriously bad at figuring out when I'm going to be depressed for any period of time.

like others i too can 'feel' it coming on. I agree completely with partly cloudy. mine is just like a bank of fog that gradually builds till it feels like it's smothering you. It surrounds you and lately i've felt fear hiding in that fog.
at first i almost seemed to 'fight it', whatever that may be. but now it seems like i say 'come-on, show me what you got'. and just accept it's coming over me. It's hard but it seems that this way it's easier for me to keep in mind that it WILL pass. that the fog will clear and my mind will focus again. that i will beable to concentrate again.-you MUST focus on hanging in there. we are all here for you. i am truly sorry you are feeling so bad.
