I'm the same as above its like a light switch

It's a matter of ' build up ' with me. Usually several small things will appear, mostly jobs I need to do. Once I have 3 or 4 items on the list, I just go to pieces and feel like they are an insurmountable challenge. This starts me off on the downward spiral and my head feels like a tumble dryer,then nothing gets done, which makes me even more depressed!
I also sink into a black hole when I have to deal with the Department of Work and pensions about my benefits, that's mostly because the vast majority of people who work there are incompetent.
Most of the time my husband and family can recognise these triggers and we talk. Now I write down all the things that are bothering me and we try to get them in order of importance plus possible solutions.x
When in black and white they doesn't seem to be as many and they're less important than I thought originally. x 😼😼

Hurt feelings

My depression has no rhyme or reason. It started during the happiest time of my life. It just is; now a part of me like hunger, thirst, heart, soul. It doesn't go away - ever!
