Mood Swinging Like Crazy

[deborah l. boylan]

Well, here I sit, another day in paradise. Yeah, right. Its been a few days since I checked the site and mostly thats because I am mood swinging. Saturday was good. Spent time swimming with my grandson and walking along the beach. It felt really good, like I could breath without the knot in my chest. By Sunday, different story. Spent the day in my "time out" room just wanting everyone to leave me alone. I could try to blame it on hearing about the 22 Seals that were killed this weekend in Afghanastan for the old pictures that I was looking through Saturday night, but the truth of the matter is that I don't know why the sudden change. Some days my mood can change moment to moment. I go from normal (whatever that is) to aggitated, to angry, to guilty, to sad, to all out depressed, then repeat. Sometimes the process is over a period of days and sometimes its all in the same day. Talk about feeling nuts! Right now I'm feeling totally unmotivated to do anything. Things are going pretty good here right now so why do I feel like the world is about to end? I should be happy, shouldn't I. I mean, it looks like I'm going to get to retire which means I don't have long left, the kids are doing well, hubby is getting better, so why do I feel so down? Why can't I just enjoy the moment? Ughhhhh!!!! This is driving me crazy and in my case, that's not a long drive! Sorry for the ramble but just needed to vent.

Same shit here Deb. Same shit day after day with allot of us I think. everyday is a surprise or a big questions mark.

When I headed up a division in my last company I used to tell everyone that I hated surprises. "Lets work real hard not to have surprises, then we got it licked".

Now we have to deal with our own mental surprises. Real big fun.

What's the day count now???

Hey. I'm new here and I'm surprised to see a woman feeling the same stuff I feel. I don't mean to belittle you at all. I just didn't realize. I guess women had to see all the crazy stuff us grunts saw too. You ever want to vent more, send me a message. I like hearing other peoples problems cause it makes me feel more normal. I've got plenty to vent about too if you don't mind hearing other people's stories. Hope you feel better soon. The ups and downs are the worst part of this. I've had a lot of ups recently. It seems like "ups" are always countered with really bad "downs". You think that means the downs are coming soon or worse than before? Tell me what you think from your own experience please.
