Depression

Why does depression suddenly hit you between the eyes for seemingly no reason atall?  I woke at about 2 am this morning, and laid in bed  crying my eyes out. I was so cross with myself, but I just couldn,t stop. For the past week or so I,ve just had this: "I don,t give a shit about anything" attitude and it,s still here. This isn,t me atall. I,m a happy person, not this gloomy miserable person. I have no idea what hell is wrong with me. I,ve just put it down to my age, and maybe I,m having an early menopause or something, who the hell knows. Anyone else feel like this or is just me who has the miseries today? :'(

injest:
shoot, I have been in a horrible mood too the past couple of weeks.

I think it is the time of year (well partly)

I know a lot of people that are in a funk, I told  my friend that we couldn't ALL be in a bad mood at the same time. SOMEBODY has to stay cheerful to help bring the rest of us up..

Don't be so hard on yourself. It MAY be hormones but whatever it is, Souxi, you have a right to feel how you feel. If you woke up and found your child crying would you think they were silly or be angry with them? Be kind to yourself. Try to think of something to do that will comfort you.

let us know how things are going.

Thanks injest, your a sweetie. Your quite right of course. If one of my kids woke up crying I wouldn,t tell them off of course, but with me it feels different. I mean at 2am!! ffs. I just feel so stupid. I can,t shake it off, and I have NO idea whats caused it. The only things I can think of that have happened this year are:
A few months back my youngest was extreemly ill with tonsilitis, his temp was 103 and he was shaking. I,d been up ALL night with him as I always do when the kids are poorly, and the doctor came and gave him antibiotics etc. Then he had a tonsilectomy, and I spent the night in hospital with him. He took ages to get better, and we had many sleepless nights, but he,s fine now. Then there was last week when I couldn,t find him, and it actually did make me physically ill that night, with a temperature etc. I had NO sleep atall, but after a couple of days I was ok. But surely it can,t be all that? It,s just too stupid for words, as my dad would say. I,m so annoyed with myself and I want to tell myself to get a grip. I,m going away on Saturday down to the coast for a week, so maybe some good sea air will do me a world of good. I sure hope so, I,m sick to death of being such a misery. Thanks for letting me rabbit on anyway, I appreciate it.

These thing can have many causes, season, hormones, etc. I face the same thing from time to time and can usually find a reason why but ocassionally I am stymied and have to work my way thru it.

Do you exercize? Get some andorphins going in your system, a trip to the beach would be great for that. If it persists, you may want to consult your physician.

For what its worth.....

I agree, I was reading that an episode of depression is not uncommon. Short lived episodes of depression are okay long as it does not last too long, if it lasts 2 to 6 months then its Clinical Depression. This time a year is what I call a "happy time", the air is crisp, the leaves are a beautiful color (not here "but if only in my dreams") and its great to get a lot of work done and a great time to get tagther with family and friends with all the fun Holidays coming.
