So I basically had three week period when my mood was stabilised, but it didn’t last. It was a relief after a bad depressive episode with mixed features in July and August. Now I am feeling depression tonight again, I don’t know why. It feels devastating since I was feeling well for some time and thought it’ll last, but I guess not. I don’t want to have to live this life (I’m safe). I just don’t understand why my brain can’t be normal

@NatureLoverand @Kyle1, I was fortunate for my evening meds to control the symptoms at onset. I’m feeling okay now, still feeling a bit low, but not bad as yesterday, a bit headachy and still congested too. I hope you both have a lovely day 🙂
