For example, atm I'm on antidepressants (fluoxetine), and at first it was working, pretty well actually, I was actually starting to enjoy making and creating things, and doing things that I found difficult. But now, since I got my period, my mental health has been declining back down to where I was before, and I thought it would go away after my period ended, but it hasn't, and it just keeps getting worse. My new diagnosis of scoliosis has also been affecting it I think, since I've been in pain pretty much daily.

Anyone else going through a really up-and-down journey with mental health?

Sounds a lot like me right now, down to using fluoxetine (just started though so it's obviously way too early to see a difference). I think it's really important to remember that progress isn't going to be linear, and that it's going to get better and then worse over and over again. All we can do is develop new coping mechanisms for when it gets bad and really enjoy life when it's good. You're definitely not alone, though.
