How come even when I am in a good mood I can still feel the depression waiting..?

Suppressed.. almost. But if I think on it too long its so easy to slip back into misery, where I just don’t have the will to try. How come even when I am in a perfectly blissful mood.. I can still feel it waiting? If I let the smile slip, despite how bitterly sarcastic it feels, I won’t be able to to feel even this false joy.. and I’m grinning, I feel absolutely happy.. so why am i crying..?

Honestly I’ve been exactly where you are. Depression is very strange as it does not only make you sad it also turns you every which way into a real roller-coaster. I think the feeling of happiness is possibly the genuine you trying to break free from the depression. But depression’s very powerful and thus it’s really hard to break from. A more serious issue could be the possiblity of bipolar depression. this would cause serious mood swings. I cant make it all better but I can be here when you need to talk. :)

Fear is an attack on your spiritual happiness
Your are aware of it yet you see it how it works upon you your thoughts and action you must also be prepared to counteract it as it happens reject the negative desire to feel outside of something lost not complete lonely it is natural even more so as this time frame declines for all to feel separation from source planetary and spiritually as we reject and slip away from the natural world yet we are at a period of discernment able to see the operatus to know de ja vu is not random we now see why it reoccurs so too must we make new patterns and arrangement of thoughts to deliver us from this cycle that we may proceed onward in growth

You’re living in fear of your feelings.
“But if I think on it too long its so easy to slip back into misery”. This is your problem-your thinking. Youre expecting to always slip back into feeling like that, so it happens. You become what you think.

Try to just enjoy the moment that youre in, without thinking about whats going to be later on. if youre happy in the moment, just be in that moment and enjoy it. what happens later will happen, but its in the future and doesnt even exist yet..and all the thinking and worrying in the world wont change whats going to happen.
That takes practice, its actually quite hard to just live in the moment, it is for me anyways, Im quite a worrier, I think on the future a lot and get very anxious about it, but then I remind myself that all that thinking isnt going to change anything, and im so future focused ive just missed the moments i was in, and thats a waste.

slow and steady wins the race! You’ll get there.
