I sometimes think that the temporal aspect of depression is often overlooked (well, I guess its the nature of the disease!). Its logical to assume that as this was a very sudden episode, that it'll pass with the same speed that it came on with.
I also tend to think that once you've had a few depressive episodes, the moment your mood dips you automatically assume you're going to go to the depths again. Well, normal people have off days too, so its normal for us to have off days as well.... although, this is just with me, and obviously I would describe what happened to you yesterday as alot more than an 'off day'. But you get the jist.... I just think that sometimes you (or 'one' I should say) ends up being depressed about being depressed, and you kinda re-enact your old depressive behaviours just because you expect them to happen and expect yourself to be depressed.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that don't let what happened to you yesterday influence your mood now. Not that you do...its just something I've noticed I do alot. Anwyay.
Kind regards
Meri
