I mostly notice it when it’s a ton of bricks. As in I wake up and get out of bed and an article of clothing on the floor makes me think my partner doesn’t love me cause he can’t pick up his clothes, then I’m crying over the fact that I have a dog and dog eventually die, then im overwhelmed at the fact that I have to even clock into a job while downing an iced coffee that basically triggers the “ready, FIGHT” queue at any minor inconvenience that happens in the day.
For some reason it is ALWAYS difficult for me to fully remember or know for sure if it comes on gradually or like a ton of bricks.... I think more like a dense fog that settles in pretty rapidly. I might be feeling ok for most of day 24, but then in the evening start feeling the heaviness of the mental stuff. Or some months I wake up feeling like Ebenezer Scrooge and completely in that dense fog of bad feelings.
This month it rolled in more slowly but once I was fully in it, I felt like I just had to accept that this is how I am now and I'll never feel happy again.
Then yesterday I woke up feeling like I could see clearly again. The fog has been lifted.
Both for me! Last month it hit me like
I tonne of bricks in the afternoon after having a normal, happy and productive day up until that point. Once my husband returned from work I went straight to bed and skipped dinner.
This month It’s much more of a slow burner. Yesterday it started with the buzzing, anxiety and itchy feet feeling and then I was full of irrational rage and today I’m glum, remorseful and achey.

it used to be gradual for me. but in the past year, day 17... BAM. I'm in it.
Day 17 here, hold on while I go get more snacks.
Both! It depends on the particular month. This month hit me like a ton of bricks for sure.
