Mood swings

[cult logic]

I'm so sick of these mood swings.

The past couple of days I feel great and now suddenly it's back to wanting to swallow all my meds at once.

I can't stand this.

Hey BCS,
Mood swings can be controlled. Talk to you doctor about meds for them.. I suffer from them and the med I take for them works for me. I found out just how much two months ago when I came up short the end of the month. When I came off them I turned into instant asshole and once I was back on them I was fine..

That's one of my problems. My doctor's solution to everything seems to be drink less caffeine.

Have you tried drinking less caffeine?

Maybe a new doctor?

Are you diagnosed bipolar? If not look into it.

Have you tried drinking less caffeine?

Yep, stuck on poland springs now. Yuck.

Maybe a new doctor?

I've got an appointment with someone different next week, hopefully they won't just say the same thing.

Are you diagnosed bipolar? If not look into it.

I have experience with those people, my dad's family is almost all bipolar, and I'm pretty sure I don't have that.

Though I guess that's for the therapist to decide.

.. my dad's family is almost all bipolar, ...

Then there's a good chance you ARE bipolar. It runs in families. And you already described the mood swings. A major symptom.

Good luck with your new appointment, let us know how it goes :hug:

Yep good luck with the new doc. Now is your chance to make a stand hun. There are meds out there that can really make a difference. Dont let them tell you there isnt. But there may be something to the caffiene thing. I'm bipolar and still drink enough Coke in a day to drop a bull moose !!!! No more like No maybe Oh bother!!! (lmao).

Well, I of course got screwed over by my family again.

Made me miss my appointment.

God dammit.

hey...sorry that this is going on with you.... were you able to re-schedule your appointment? let us know...these mood swings can probably be controlled hun, but you'll need to be very firm w/the doctor...

Wonderful.

Sudden drop in mood after feeling great most of today.

Anxious as hell about school tomorrow, especially since we've been off for a week, and it feels like I'll be yelled at if I forgot to do something.

Tonight's a night suicide will feel particularily attractive. :sad:
