Thing about depression cate is they should call it a different word as the condition has so many symptoms of which low mood is only one and is not always present.
It does tend to finish us off though as it makes activity and interraction harder. I hope you can push past it and act normal even though you are not feeling it, try to duplicate one of your recent good days and fingers crossed. The fear of backsliding completely makes it all worse I think and the ensuing confusion of desperately looking for a reason for the changes which occur. Try not to do those things or think those thoughts, keep trying to go in the right direction. Fight cateblack.

HiCateblack , sorry to hear you are down,that feeling of dread is so crap l often get up in the morning and go back to bed because l just cant be bothered having a shower, eating, looking in the mirror to see how crap l look. But you have to enjoy the happy days when you have them hun and don,t be so hard on your self. Maybe buy a frozen apple pie for next time .l hope you have more happy days, at least you know your smoke alarm works take care and big hugs

Ahhh Madam Cate, you were waiting for this, weren't you? Inevitable, wasn't it? Really, lets be real. The sun goes down, the storm clouds appear, and suddenly its night and the wind picks up and things you hoped were secure seem to be flapping...

Don't flap Ms Cate. Just don't flap. You hold fast to the truth - and the truth is that you're doing better than you have in forever, and today's just one of those down days that want to seduce you back into the hell of feeling miserable. Don't be seduced.

Picture that you've alighted your personal roller coaster, and now youre travelling on a mini steam train instead. It's open topped - so its exposed, it's slow, and it's occasionally bumpy, but it's going to get you there, girlfriend! It's gonna get you there. It's steady as she goes, but you'll get there in the end in better shape than if you'd been on that old coaster...

I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I know I can.
