Sick of moodswings

caz23 · 27-10-2008, 02:36 AM

Yeah, so as the title might suggest, I am totally f*cked off with feeling up one minute and so, so down the next. With a some anger thrown in for good measure. I never know how I'm going to feel and how long for. It could be hours, it could be days. I'm trying so hard to fight it. I'm not the kind of person who will just give up and die. But I'm getting so fed up. I'm so confused. I mean, is it normal to feel great one minute and then literally suicidal the next? I don't know. Maybe it's just me. So confused and fed up. I really can't cope with this **** for much longer. I don't even know who I am anymore. I just can't cope. I'm weak and really down

Any advice or something? Cheers

I feel similar to you. It's like you know you are being irrational sometimes but the feelings take over and you can't handle it. And then sometimes you do things you regret. It drives you crazy. But it has to be fixed..

Have you gone to a doctor about this? I was told to go to one because it might be a hormonal imbalance, or something else. But I am scared to go.

It is worth speaking to a GP about it, especially if it has reached a point where you are having problems coping. Mood shifts can point to a lot of different things, depending on blood works and how long the individual phases last.

I understand how frustrating it can be to not know what is coming next or how long each phase will last *hugs*

PM me anytime you want to chat in more detail, or just need to vent at someone.

Thank you for the replies, it's good to know that someone else feels the same. I have been to see my GP back in March. I'm waiting to see my local CMHT since then (obviously following assessments etc) and am apparently on urgent?! It's a painfully slow process. I see my GP every week at the moment because I'm very unstable and unpredictable. She has recently suggested that I should see a psychiatrist and possibly have a stay in hospital. I don't want to go down that road though if I can avoid it. Just feeling really scared about what's happening to me and annoyed about the fact that I can't stop it, however hard I try.
