Hey, everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I have a bit of an issue. My moods seem up and down, but with less severity than usual. It doesn't really interfere with life or anything, it's just a little uncomfortable. My other issue that does interfere with everyday life is my anger. I get angry over the smallest things and it's darn near ( Read more... )

Has anyone tried keeping a calendar of some sort keeping track of your moods? How did you do it exactly? Any tips? It's not something that's occurred to me before, but I recently found out from one of my best friends that she had kept one on me in the past (I don't know why she never bothered to tell me about this...) She said when she did it she ( Read more... )

i don't usually cry.  it's just something that i don't do.  probably some childhood reason behind it or something.  i'm not sure.  but tonight i'm crying so hard and i can't stop ( Read more... )

I am a rapid cycler, as in mood swings over the course of weeks, days or hours. It can be hell on the bad days, but I am so thankful that whatever my mood is, it will change soon. Today was full of external ups and downs, but I mostly stayed near center mood wise. It's comforting to know that this can happen - this middle ground. I'd like to ( Read more... )

I hate thinking all the time.  It inevitably leads me to worry about something ridiculous.  If it was more than 30 degrees outside I would have a walk up to the diner for breakfast, but 30 is too cold.  Maybe later when/if it gets warmer I'll go out for a walk.  For now, it's hot coffee and this computer.  The Recovery, Inc. meetings I've been ( Read more... )

Well, I woke up at a little after 6:00 a.m. with no alarm and for no real reason, so I just got out of bed like I used to.  Lately I've been sleeping like crazy and I haven't even really wanted to get up early because I feel kind of creeped out in the early morning.  I'm not sure why, but it seems like mornings are my "worst" time.  I used to ( Read more... )

I was diagnosed bipolar when I was 16, but started taking meds when I was 18 (almost 22 now). All throughout elementary/high school I was a 4.0 student and I graduated with college credits. After that, I went away to college and did extremely well. Then I got mono and had to drop out. I then became very depressed and the mood swings hit me with a ( Read more... )

It's been one of those roller coaster days, but at least after a day of ups and downs I've finally leveled out a bit. I've been watching this community for a while, and I'm not sure if I posted here before or not. A little background... I was diagnosed in 2001, but I've been suffering for as many years as I can remember, and I'm 36 now. I'm ( Read more... )

 
I am alllllll over the place today. I went from waking up already feeling dead, to feeling like maybe there was hope. I went to go study for a class with a friend and that was nice. I walked home, had a good conversation with my boyfriend over the phone (after we've been fighting for 4 days straight), and then I got home and I feel absolutely ( Read more... )

I was on top of the world last night, surreal this morning, and surely enough I should have expected a mood crash. I achieved above what I was expecting and managed to win myself a very pricy gadjet (a few of you might be familiar with the ipod ( Read more... )
