I have been feeling pretty good the past couple of weeks. I don't have the morning depression so bad anymore. It seems that I am back to my chronic mild depression/anxiety. I'm not complaining. I will take dysthymia any day over the heavy cloud of major depression. I have been feeling so great I almost forgot about the reason I was so depressed in the first place (financial probs & debt, ugh). But this morning at work some negative random thought popped in my head and I just had that crushing feeling all of a sudden. It just came out of nowhere. I honestly can't even remember the specific thought that I had. I had to take some deep breaths and talk myself out of getting even more agitated.
I feel fine now, but it just goes to show how the depression/anxiety is always under the surface. Luckily after 10 yrs I find I am managing it so much better. Usually I have a severe episode up to 2 months after I have a major anxiety attack. It has been about a month since I had my anxiety attack and I am already feeling better. I have been able to maintain my normal daily routine and I am slowly getting back into maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine.
Today's "freak out", let's call it, just showed me the importance of being vigilant about controlling my depression and anxiety.
