Depression and mood swings?

Hello ppl congratulations for this great forum.

I have a question. Is there any way you have depression but sometimes to feel good?

I have been diagnosed with depression but there are some times that I feel really good for a short period of time (usually 15 minutes or so). I feel energetic and I want to do many things. Then I get to my depression. I know its not bipolar because I don't have mania.

Thanks in advance.

Yes that's how it is with me. I suffer from clinical depression and SAD, so weather can be a contibuting factor, or perhaps something else triggered it.

There will be days that I feel fantastic, and then all of a sudden I will feel extremely low.

Sometimes in patches like you are describing.

I have exactly the same thing! Today is a good day for me, but i can change at any time, usually without warning My drs think i could be bipolar, but because i don't really have true manic phases, they've never pushed that.

thank you for the answers.

yeah, today was bad day, but yesterday was good?

i have extreeme mood swings every emotion i have is extreeme im never just 'ok' when im low im very low but can also be the opposite although i wouldnt describe it as happy more hyper and bubbly, hope that helps not sure if thats what you mean though just thought id say how my moods go
