People who've had depression (and before taking the treatment), did you have moments of respite?

I feel low most of the time, with lack of focus and tiredness.

There are a few moments in the day where I feel good, for example after an achievement for a patient or when the adrenaline is running in a emergency. (I don't feel good but I don't feel depressed, I feel focused, mostly cause I don't have time to feel otherwise and because I have to anyways.)

Also, when someone says something good about me or compliments me in things I value, for example when a colleague said: I look up to you when it comes to work, I felt elated. (While I don't believe it much deep down but it made me so happy.)

But all in all, whenever something bad happens, even if it is insignificant, the stress raises to a peak and all the depressed ideas come rush in.

So in 07 days, I might have 4 days of feeling 60-70% of the time like I don't want to live anymore. And 2 days when it is 90%, and at least one day when it is 100 or even 200%.

So, how was it for you?

You can listen to free subliminal therapies on YouTube and read the list of positive messages going into your subconscious mind. If there is anything you don't want suggested to you, look for another one as there are a wealth of them. Some are designed to help you relax and fall asleep and some are designed to reduce anxiety. You can come out of a depressed mindset with subconscious messages about how much you love living. Remember to relax each day and count your blessings.
