Do you go through depression spells?

Question

Every once in a while I’ll just go through this depression spell where for weeks at a time I don’t wanna do anything, I don’t wanna go anywhere, and I just wanna sit at my house.

I feel physically sick sometimes during the spells and I just can’t shake them as easily as I used to.

Eventually though after a couple of weeks I feel better again and I just pick back up like normal and just have the best outlook on everything.

Does this happen to anyone else?

It happens to everyone, some of us... depression never goes away for. Its always there, and won't leave us alone... ever.

Mine was triggered by being raped at 14 and I doubt its going anywhere. Sometimes I get enough good things going on in life to shine through it but sooner or later it always always comes back.

Its a constant battle that my attacker left me with for life... and the system failed to deliver justice on. I've even gone a week or two without eating any food.

You are not alone. Depression is a disease that takes thousands of people every year.

Used to in high school but only occasionally now.

Used to. Felt like not talking to anyone, zoning out, feeling numb but sadness and gloomy thoughts made it worse for me.
Since then, I picked up a habit of wanting to spend my time alone. Without it, I can't function well. I'm in a far better spot thankfully but I still need some time alone and not talk to anyone. The sadness however, isn't anymore, at least not up to th level it used to be.

Ya I know them feels. It's like every time I see a hottie with a fat ass wearing pants too tight or a banging rack with a push-up bra but they're walking the other way with their headphones on, completely oblivious to me. It's like they're so close but so far away and I can't do much about it. Those are the darkest times that make me big sad.

Jltakk · Answer

As someone with melancholic depression, they aren't really spells. Its just there at all times. If someone cussed me out, I take it as confirmation and stay in bed, sleeping the mental noise away. The sleep doesn't fix anything of course, and tiredness of course stays. This is my daily life since 18.

No but typically it is self induced, though not purposefully. Typically environment, habits, diet, etc. Being you go through bouts of it you just need to find the tiggers.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

That happens. I have an invisible pain going on causing some fatigue which also affects me mentally but sometimes, i try not to give in to it.

Bricealan · Answer

Probably not uncommon, with what is going on around the planet, with COVID, mass shootings et cetera.  Getting out to be active at times will help, and maybe see an MD and get some antidepressants.

love_conquers_lust · Answer

Yes. It’s induced by my chronic ailment. The best way to cope is diet, exercise, controlling my weight, and distracting myself with work as opposed to pleasurable activities until the storm passes. It’s like having a period every other week.

Agape93 · Answer

It's not a spell but yeah, I have days or weeks still when my depression goes from merely a 2 or 3, up to 9 or 10.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

No. I don’t understand why people get like that especially if you’re in a situation where everything is provided for you. If you were in the Ukraine yes I’d understand your depression and you’d have good reason for it.

Sitting around feeling sad for no reason is unacceptable.

Fuentes · Answer

No I don't think it's possible for me to be depressed I see that as a weakness.

DuskEmbrace_X · Answer

Oh God, Yes. My depressive spells tend to be the absolute worst.
