I have felt depressed in the past few days although the summer is coming. May have something to do with the fact that I am alone most of the time. If continues, have to see pdoc.
I too have also felt “extra depressed” in the last few days…wonder if it’s just something in the air, like allergies?

I have had mixed and some pretty deep depressive episodes, for the last couple of weeks - I have been getting irritable and angry, then sadness and depression would take over - my motivation has been very low.
I have got to address this with my pdoc this week - its getting worse
Is it more comfortable to feel depressed or completely flat?
Why not avoid the doc (and up-dosing of sfx-inducing meds) (unless the depression gets truly “dangerous”) and get a good CBT workbook or two? (See http://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Behavioral-Workbook-Depression-Step/dp/1608823806, for example.) The book will keep you busy and yank you up out of the Box of Beliefs that are the cause of depression and anxiety so much of the time, especially with sz.
You could also bag a copy of Albert Ellis’s or Wyane Dyer’s bazillion-selling old tomes on “stinking thinking” like A Guide to Rational Living – http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Rational-Living-Albert-Ellis/dp/0879800429/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1430598497&sr=1-1&keywords=albert+ellis – and Your Erroneous Zones – http://www.amazon.com/Your-Erroneous-Zones-Step---Step/dp/0060919760/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1430598566&sr=1-1&keywords=wayne+dyer+your+erroneous+zones – which is Dyer’s uncredited, but better marketed, rip-off of Ellis’s books.

I know all about being alone. When you’re alone your mind is a fertile garden for all kinds of mental problems to take root. I compulsively isolate myself. I’ve found that I don’t have to interact with people. Just being in their presence can relieve some of my solitary anguish. Look for ways you can insinuate yourself into human company. You don’t have to be bosom buddies. You don’t have to be the life of the party. Just try to be next to people.

Full moon. I haven’t been like usual. Maybe medicine related. Waiting for the mailman to bring it.
I think people are just more aware of there moods and then they see the moon and think the moon is giving the effect.
Me too. But I like interacting no matter how much I hate people.
Could be an effect - could not be.
