Roller coaster

I seem to live my life in  loop mode of a

roller coaster

. I know when the ride is leveling because I can feel it. The nose dive. Not even an inkling. I go from perfectly scatty (which is normal for me) to a blubbering wreck in a split second. It happens every few months, no warning, then after a few days (maybe longer) I suddenly feel

illness and thankfully can be treated with the right medication. There must be a fair few riding the

roller coaster

under the

veil

of depression with medication paying the one way ticket.
