I don't think I am depressed. NHS says clinical depression is where you are depressed for weeks or months at a time. I'm not.

I do normal daily things and I am usually feeling mostly fine most days.

For some time now I have a sudden onset of deep depression that leads to me having urges to be suicidal. It comes on VERY suddenly and sometimes its so bad that I feel deeply depressed (can't move stare into space type depressed) all day the day after my sudden onset.

Things trigger it, like watching a very emotional film, or having a fall out with DH.

I don't know if this is PTSD?
After the onset I usually recover and I normally wont have another trigger for a while so in the meantime I continue to function normally.

What is this? I don't understand what's wrong with me.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
