Is it normal to feel neurotic happiness after being depressed?

6 Comments

I have moderate depression so it's pretty normal for me to get into long deep depressions that last at least 6 months. but whenever I come out of those depressions, for the next few day I have this spell of insane happiness to the point that I feel neurotic and like a psychopath. ya it's nice to not be depressed, but that kind of happiness kindof scares me coz it's so insane and it makes people worry about my mentality. I litterally laugh like a maniac without intending to. it scares me. anyone with depression, is this normal, or am I the only one?

Is It Normal?

    Yes my sister is bipolar and she's the same, she also makes big money spends for things she doesn't need and makes drastic life changing decisions, it's often pregnancy and she's under care as she's now pregnant again, and after she'll go into deep depression then be up again, and has over the top behaviour.

    Yeah sounds a bit like bipolar. Although, after getting out of hospital for a suicide attempt I felt happy for the next few days and I had no idea why.

    You may suffer from Bipolar depression, not unipolar depression like you thought. A counselor can tell you for sure. I would go and see one and tell them your concerns.

    Sounds like you might be bipolar. I too have struggled with bad depression and was diagnosed as being bipolar a few years ago.it's something I have to manage by taking medication daily, but now I live a very happy fulfilling life. I would suggest talking to your doctor and see what his opinion is. It's nothing to be ashamed of, many famous people are bipolar, including the artist Vincent van gogh!

      Yea well Vincent van Gough didn't have a very pleasant life did he. He only became famous after his suicide. Not the best example for a famous person.
