The 3 Stages of Depression - The Depression Cycle

So I thought I’d write a post that surrounds my experience with depression. I hope that this may put in perspective how someone who suffers with depression could feel (everyone is different). If you experience something similar I’d love to hear it or let me know what you experience. I’d be interested to know if this is a common thought process.

I seem to go through 3 stages, that repeat and this creates a cycle. Here’s my explanation of my ‘cycle’ and the positive and negative effects of these stages. These are very brief to what I experience but the badic idea is there.

1.Extreme Sadness.

Can’t complete tasks, barely move out of bed, can’t go to work / university without breaking down. Consistent feeling of uselessness, heartbreak, terrible thoughts. Crying / panic attacks. Disssoiation. Over or under eating.

Small moments off ups and motivation that quickly fade. (Highly likely to make quick decisions to socialise and then regret them quickly).

2.Extreme Happiness.

Spontaneous actions. Smoking, drinking etc. Feeling hyperactive, so happy I feel up again. Seeing friends/family. Feeling on top of the world, no worries , ignore all problems. A true “who gives a fuck” attitude.

Disssoiation / Confusion / low motivation (when alone)

3.Numbness.

Not able to cry, not feeling empathy / sympathy.

Can feel temporary happiness when experiencing a comfortable situation with someone close to me. Likely to still go out and socialise but feel ‘off’ and aspects disssoiation. Crave emotion, wanting so badly to feel something.

... and repeat.

I wanted to share my cycle with you so I can help understand why this happens to me and I would also be very interested in seeing other people’s ‘cycles’ to see if they are similar or even have something like this? Thank you for taking your time to read this.

How gorgeous is this new background I came across, trying to force positive messages in my life to fade out the bad... it has helped before.

Honestly? Shoutout to those of you who are completely fucking lost in life. Those who don’t know what they want to do with life. Those who are stuck in a certain part of life and can’t get out. Those who are reaching for dreams they feel are impossible to reach. Those who feel like they’re accomplishments are being overlooked. Those who feel like their enough just isn’t enough. It is. You can make it. You will make it. There is an opening at the end of the tunnel.

If you are going through a tough time right now, remember that you are not alone. I’m feeling the same way at the moment, I feel lost and confused about my path in life. But remember life is an adventure and sometimes it just takes making that leap or extra step into something unknown to get where you want to be. Think positive, love those around you and yourself, never forget how important you are.

the mentality of “oh well, i’ll probably never see these people again.” has genuinely helped me with my anxiety in social situations so much. like literally… fuck it who cares anymore.
