> Ok, so yesterday was a pretty good day for me. I felt quite happy and danced about the house to various different songs before suddenly sitting and staring at the wall, slipping into another dark and depressed mood. I even ended up cutting my already damaged wrists again - what's that all about???

> One minute I'm perfectly fine and dandy and then the next I've fallen right back down to despair. I just don't understand. It was nice to spend most of the day sitting around watching cartoons and listening to my fave songs and stuff and then suddenly I didn't want to anymore and i went and sat in my room in silence for most of the evening before another night of virtually no sleep.

> This morning I am still pretty down and I don't know what went wrong yesterday to cause it. I'm so fed up with it all. :(ELA,
sounds very familiar to me. Take last Sunday. Relaxing at home I was looking forwards to the live footie game on telly, it promised to be an excellent game.Within 5 minutes of kick-off I'd stealthily convinced myself that the match would be boring [or something similar] and slipped into a very deep depression for the rest of the day. It was infuriating and sickening - the match was excellent but the sophisticated saboteur that is my depression slipped in and nailed me.
Like you I was left wondering how bonkers it is to slip into a deep depression over something I'd been looking forwards to. As others have said in their replies, it is likely to be the biological aspect of my depression and there is no way to accurately predict what it's going to do or when.
Best wishes,
pete.
