Has anyone experienced "off and on" depression?

I have “off and on” depression, does anyone expecience these problems? its like I get really low, and then it goes into just being not happy, but not sad for a while, then back into a low…its bad, I never hit a happy, or high level…any tips, besides “proffesional help” to help. I always lie when I get in the counslers office for some reason, so they dont help to much.

Answer #1

Sounds like dysthymia… Kinda like a chronic depression… There’s no tips to curing a mood disorder. You need help before it gets worse… The only thing I can suggest is not isolating yourself and continue following your regular routine even when you feel bad (this wont make you better, but it will prevent you from becoming worse)

Check out the Befrienders link below. They are not only a suicide hotline but also offer help to people who are stressed or are in a state of depression.
