I personally go through depressive waves. I’ve been dealing with it for quite some time and so I’ve come to know when my waves usually happen. Something that helped me was journaling or keeping a diary. It’s cliche BUT it’s nice to look at how you were feeling a few months ago compared to a depressive period and know that it comes and goes.

I feel this so hard. I don't have a good answer just wanted you to know you aren't alone. When I am in the grips of depression it feels like nothing helps except being in bed and cuddling with kitties. I am doing better this month because I am on a new medication that isnt awesome but doesnt completely suck. Sending positive hugs or whatever. I've been thinking lately that maybe a shock to the system would work? Like a freezing shower? But when I am super depressed I dont want to try anything and I definitely dont want to be uncomfortable. When I dont feel like crap I know it is only temporary and am trying to brainstorm what I will do when the depression takes over again. Hope you are talking to someone! >3
