the best thing to do would be to give me a few hugs and maybe a sentence or two of encouragment...my "depressions" don't seem to last very long. Usually by the time people respond and think to write some very useful and insightful posts...I'm already out of that particular mood.
I understand it must be very confusing, since I'm pretty new here and people here aren't used to the way I am. I'm not underestimating the depth of my despair during those times, but they are usually very short lived...a few hours or two days at most. So please don't get too worried about me.
You guys are really great. I'm going to have to find some way to manage my emotions so that I'm not posting them here all the time and distressing people. I will find a way...any suggestions?
> Honestly, your post WAS a little troubling (you called it "weird".) I guess I'm concerned about you and your stability. You seem to cycle through moods rapidly, from good to very bad in quick succession. Am I right or am I misreading the cues in your posts here? (If I'm misreading, I'm sorry!)
Yep, you are entirely correct. It's good they don't last long though, or I could get into some trouble.
> if it's correct, have you been able to address this with a T or doctor and get help for it? From my personal experience, and you'll have to take this with a grain of salt b/c it's just MY experience -- it does seem out of the range of standard response to have such drastic mood swings. It seems to be making you quite unhappy.
Yes, I think you are right, it is out of the range of "normal." Not sure why I'm like this. The happy times are quite fun though :o) My pdoc who's on maternity leave knows about this, she thinks I'll be ok. In the meantime, I'm going to get rid of all potentially harmful things out of the house so I won't do anything stupid on impulse. I think I'll also make an appt with my family doc once she's back from vacation, just to be on the safe side. :o)
Thank-you so much ((JenStar))
Thanks for putting up with my wierdness
