I have found that my recurrent depressive disorder has caused a lot of anxiety about relapse, not having control over it, etc. I'm better now at dealing with it, but there was a long time when I was so incredibly anxious and terrified of relapse. It was a big topic of discussion in therapy for me.
Depression can make us feel loss of control because of that sense that it could happen just when we let our guard down.
It is possible to find a way to feel more in control, but be patient with yourself. It takes time.
