\"\"<\/a>I often get waves of worry, sadness and despair when I\u2019m depressed. It\u2019s different than low level depression. These waves are intense and can happen at really odd times. I seem to have a lot of them when I\u2019m getting in my car and going somewhere. It\u2019s as though my brain is telling me I won\u2019t have fun or that something is going to happen on the way to seeing someone or going to an event. I also get these when I\u2019m sitting and watching a movie at home. They really upset me because they happen so fast. I often start to cry or feel fear that someone is trying to hurt me. This can really put a damper on a possibly positive situation.<\/p>\n

I now know that this is typical of anxiety.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned to say no to these waves. I say, \u201cI\u2019m not going to listen to this. I\u2019m not going to let this ruin my day! There is nothing wrong and no one is trying to hurt me!\u201d This helps.<\/p>\n

Being chronically depressed is hard work! I have been dealing with this for 20 years. Yikes!<\/p>\n

I choose to fight it every time it tries to take me over.<\/p>\n
