Do any of you guys get off and on depression. I can be just fine and then all of a sudden my mood will go south and you no how that feels, I just set there and do not want to talk. Do you guys deal with the pain by just going on and talking and saying it isn't going to beat me. I have tried all kinds of meds and they make me have all kinds of bad mood swings and worsening suicidal thoughts. Can anyone relate to the meds not helping them? Can you deal without them?

No, meds have never made me feel worse; they always make me feel better, or are ineffective.

But yes, my depressive episodes come and go too. Unfortunately, right now I am in a very, very long one (nearly six months now). I'm trying to remember what I was so darn happy about last winter, when I'd wake up with a smile every day. Nothing was going particularly well at that time, circumstances were pretty much the same as always.... its weird.. :(
