> I think that a depressed mood can pass, but I wouldn't take this as a sign that your depression is gone. I have always hoped that the depression would never return, but that made it harder to handle it when it did. Now I am trying to learn to accept the changes in mood, and not to get so freaked out when it is a depressed mood that comes my way. Easier said than done, obviously, but I am trying. Something like moving away can certainly distract you for a while, but get support, cuz it will probably be stressful, and you seem to plunge into anguish quickly. Don't give up on mental health profesionals just cuz of one that wasn't right for you. Take care.
Just in the few hours since I wrote last, I've had mild ups and downs. For a while I just laid and rocked , trying to think of who could just sit with me. Not like I was in a deep depression, just spaced out. Then, later, I'd feel exilerated, not manic, just tingly and gooood. It is not bad enough for drastic measures, just uncomfortable and I want to TALK again.My family is off at activities, thankfully. I can't do anymore today and keep up with them. 15yr old and 12 yr old and husband. I called a crisis line and they have not gotten back to me from 2 days ago.I was thinking of going to a hospital with Christian counseling out of state. I guess I'm not that "bad" . Whatever. Janet
