What Causes Relapse Of Depression After One Year?

ok, ive went through a huge depression one year, smoked some weed, and it went away, i felt happy, especially high, then i started smoking spice, it gave me psychosis. For 4 months after i last smoked spice, i severly felt insane, i stopped smoking it last year january. since then i slowly been feeling more and more normal again, the air smells the way i remembered it, i have the emotions, and feelings i use to have before i hit that year of depression. Like i feel more me than i have in 4 years i want to say now. but now i feel depressed. Its weird, i feel exactly the way i wanted to, think a lot healthier, feel a lot healthier, but i am sad. and i have no clue why, if this is exactly how i know i should feel. Like what i mean is i have my basic emotions, happy, sad, angry etc, those were numb for a long time, but i felt them slightly, but the even more detailed emotions, like what i feel when i smell nice cut grass, hear the crickets, and bugs at night, those feeling were completely gone, now i get them again, i feel soo much better compared to how scary and demented i felt after smoking spice/k2 dont get me wrong i didnt feel depressed then, i was just in a huge ammount of fear that my reality was destroyed. but the more ive gained the reality i was use to before i started to struggle, and screw up myself with spice, the more ive gained my emotions back, then now i feel like ive gained at least 90% of what i use to if not more, and now im depressed. Im 23, m.

Hi

I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude.

Now I guess you have depression and it could be due to some stress in your personal life. In that case, you need some help.

However let me give my opinion here.

I think a combination therapy of antidepressant and low benzodiazepine would help you. These drugs would help you to come out of depressive phase. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would keep you calm and relax.

For this you need expert's guidance by psychiatrist or psychologist .
