Right what basically happened was last night I was reading the forum and so on, and i had just finished reading a thread and was turning off my computer to go and watch the Steven Fry thing that was on and it was so weird, this wave of sadness and what can only be discribed as depression hit me. Anyway I watched the programme, and good it was to, and I saw some of myself in some of those people. Well by the end it was like it had gotten worse, although not as bad as it has been before, although it was fairly bad ie stomach aches and felling cold and general unhappyness. I went to bed and actually wept for about half an hour at the stupidness of it all.
Anyway what surprised me the most was the speed with which it came on, it took a little over an hour to go from my normal state to being fairly well depressed,and this morning im perfectly fine again. Although that parts nothing new.
Anyone else had this happen or am I just being odd.

Once it happened just after arriving at a fancy ball. I ended up ditching my friends and running home. They called and called but I just couldn't pick up the phone, I knew I wouldn't be able to speak to them. Then the day after I felt fine again, still a bit low though because of how I treated my friends but it was all sorted by the end of the day and I was back to feeling fine again.
I consider myself to have recovered, but occasionally these feelings pop up seemingly out of nowhere. I think it's quite normal and the most important thing is not to dwell on it.
try 2 think about postitive things when u get this, thats what i try to do,,
hope this has made u feel better
I thought the Stephen Fry documentary (next part is next Tues, yes) was excellent, too. The BBC website has some more information on manic depression on its page about the programme. Take care.
