Is it normal to go through rough patches with depression and anxiety. I know that ive been working 15, 16+ hours a day and Im really tired but I just feel down and I'm hoping ive just hit a rough patch. I'm really trying to work on my meditation and coping skills but I just feel really down in the dumps. Last night was the first night in a month since I was awoken in the middle of the night. It just brings me back memories to when I couldn't sleep and now im worried I wont have a peaceful sleep again.

AK,

I am sorry you are feeling down and worried.

With the hours you've been working, I am sure you are fatigued...and this can be a 'foot in the door' for anxiety!

Also, you have been worried about your dad, and naturally that is going to factor in.

Keep up with the coping skills. ..and try a catch up on some rest this weekend!

Know that ups and downs are normal and expected. It doesn't mean you are back at square one...

...just pick up where you left off, get back on track...and keep going! :)

We are cheering you on.:)

Thank you SC for the kind words. I will definitely try my best with the coping skills!

Like SC said, definitely normal to go through phases of good and bad. I found being tired contributed to a down phase for me.
