I have " depression attacks" all the time. Little bouts of depression. Not full blown episodes. Almost like anxiety attacks but they are decidedly different. They seem to come out of nowhere. I could be humming in the shower one minute and getting dressed the next and crying my eyes out. Sometimes it lasts minutes, sometimes it would last hours.

I find I need to just let it run its course. Not much I can do to stop it. Sometimes a distraction is all that can help... Videos, phone call, etc. But even then it's not a sure thing.

I've been asked by professionals what I've been thinking or feeling when these episode happen and the truth is I don't know. I could be feeling good and they still happen. So who knows?

Smell Orange essential oil and work your fingers through Rosemary and smell I, this is calming. Deep breath. Breathe in love exhale stress, anger, worry, hurt etc. Hope this helps.

Yes. Stop and find things that calm you, a hug, a walk, music. Find your calm.
