The depression returns

Hi,

I got really sick for three days last week. It was terrible. I thought my 34 day stability streak was going to last forever.

I’m always shocked when the depression comes back full force. It is so nasty and horrible. No one can understand it unless they have felt it.

It’s like living underwater with no air- but you don’t die! You just struggle!

All of us with BP know what it is like.

The day it started I said to myself, “Oh no. It’s back. But I’m going to get rid of it starting now.”

It sounds like a cliche, but that is how I have to talk to myself when I get sick.

In three days it was gone. I’m a lot better today. I woke up and knew I was fine – I knew this because I woke up and didn’t think about bipolar disorder. I just got on with my day. It’s so wonderful to have a normal day!

Julie
