Help... Falling in the pit again

I was doing so well. Now I can't remember how to get out. I feel horrendous. I can't concentrate on anything and just keep crying. I hate feeling like this.

Yep, on the meds. It's just come out of the blue.

How long have you been on them for? According to some on MN they can take 2 weeks to kick in.

Over a year! Reduced dose a few months ago. Made some life changes and things were pretty settled. I think I always have this fear that it'll come back hanging over me so when it does it's even worse, partly because I know how it affects DH too and it's not fair on him.

My opinion is that a marriage is a partnership. So there are times that things are rough for 1 person, but hopefully the other person will be supportive. And in life, it happens the other way around too.

As I understand it, depression can come and go. I found ignoring the feeling worked. You cant necessarily ignore the effects, but if the depression is somewhat ignored, it doesnt have such a power.
