Since I started one of my new meds, my depression has been a lot better. I used to get depressed for weeks at a time… now just 4 months later, they generally last less than a day.
Last week, I was depressed for a couple of days, then I worked out of it Friday morning. But I had a depression hang over… I was right on edge, and totally drained. Saturday morning could have gone either way. I was feeling totally out of it.
It took my well into Saturday afternoon to finally start to feel like myself again. Normally that does not happen. But I think the fact that my depression was longer than normal contributed to that. Whatever it was, it made for a difficult morning for Lori. But everything worked out okay.
The depressions I have are not gone… but they sure are easier to get out of, and manage. It does surprise me sometimes… like last week. I feel better about getting thru even the worst depression, though it can leave me with a Depression Hang Over.
