Do you have days/periods where you are more or less anxiety and depression free. You can pretty much doing anything you want, then other days where you feel totally rubbish?
Last week I felt excellent, content, happy with life. This week I feel totally hopless, I've went out and tried to get on with things but it doesn't get any better, I still feel rubbish, on edge, in a mood.
Sadly this week I am off work on holiday, I wanted to go out and do things with the kids, which i have done the past couple of days but it was just not enjoyable while I am in this mood, then next week when stuck in work i'll be full of regrets.
Its just a constant up and down. However I've found little things like someone paying me a compliment can snap me out of it, yet I don't seem able to snap myself out of it.
Having ups and downs?

This post is interesting to me, because every time I go on days off (i work 4 tens and have three off) I usually have my worst days on days off. I have been trying to figure it out, for me I think some of it is that work is consistent, I know what to expect. Days off are kind of open, and I usually cram way too much into them and end up fuzzy and anxious. I am working on not planning ahead so much for my days off and taking more time for me on the days off. Try focusing on the things that did go right and that you enjoyed instead of the nasty physical symptoms. Take care.
