@ 11:29 PM Mood Swings Just googled: Why do I feel sad for no reason? Got this answer: "Think about it like this: Say that a kitten is taken in by a mother dog. The kitten is obviously misplaced, by nature, but after the kitten is grown a little more, it feels right at home with it's adopted brother and sister puppies. The kitten had become so used living with dogs, like a dog, that the kitten wouldn't feel as comfortable with cats, despite how much cat-friendly a family of cats would be. Human emotions are very similar. When a person is sad for an extended period of time, that person becomes comfortable with feelings of sadness. But even though there's no reason to feel sad, these people would rather stay in their own comfort zones, and remain sad. " I think this person is right. He has just summed up the entire cause of my random bouts of mood swings in the last two sentences. I have been sad, and moody for the 17 years of my life. Well, minus the years when I was a baby as I had no thoughts of my own. I guess it's because of the time I had alone to myself- I tend to think too much about people and their actions and motives and this is maybe why I overthink too much sometimes and let my assumptions influence my viewpoint of them. I wish I could take those moments back! I'd much rather be a cheerful and optimistic girl. I have been trying. To look on the bright side, like always and it has its rewards, I agree. But the moody part of me pops up out of nowhere just because of certain actions the people around me do- I'm easily affected. I don't really like this part of myself? Because when I start to dislike someone, I dislike everything they do and then the pent up frustration builds up and I become moody and all and everyone starts avoiding me. I can't control myself! I feel like I need to see a psychologist cos it's not like it's normal to have mood swings several times of the week?! Ok fine maybe the plus point is I'll become hyper but I'd always be exhausted and moody after that. Some other answers I got: "You Are Depressed, I'm like that a lot also, it gets to the point where i can't move, i don't even want to get out of bed, i can't clean house are anything, i went to the doctor, and got help for this, you should go also, ASAP" "Sounds like depression. You should probably see someone, like a psychologist. BEWARE of antidepressants though, they all are REALLY POWERFUL drugs that effect your mind DRASTICALLY. If you are a teen, then this is normal. Your body chemistry is changing and your mind is flooded with hormones. You just got to stick though it, in your mid 20s it gets better usually and you stabilize. Still see a councilor if you can afford one. Edited- Definitely Sounds like you have depression. Find out why you are depressed and then address that issue. It is the only way you can solve this. And addressing the issue just might mean changing your own cognitions, that is what I had to do. (cognitions means your thoughts and the way you think) " "this is a mood disorder. i have this too and it took me a long time to understand it, but once i did, it helped me out a lot. please look it up, consult a psychiatrist, go to a support group. also please realize, that to solve this, you won't be able to get answers for this on yahoo! answers, it's a long road ahead of you for a cure and you'll have to look inside yourself." Well sounds like I have depression apart from the answer which I prefer (the 1st one. who likes to be thought of being diagnosed with depression?!) Well hopefully recent founded strength to be optimistic works. P.S I'm not going to do PACC I am so pissed. It is so hard! |
