Down with Depression. Up with Me!


Midday. HERE IS THE NEWS at midday. I keep getting mood swings. I was lovely and hyper earlier. I felt fine. Now I'm irritable and tired. Not depressed though.

Losing sleep: does it every time now! Never used to. Never used to do anything bar make me sleep twice as much starting in the middle of the day. Now I do right through to the night feeling fine. Or irritable. Or fantastic. But not down, which is the point I DO NOT WISH TO GO DOWN. I hate being down. I have spent FAR TOO MUCH of my life being down I will Not Do It Any More.

Down with Depression!

  1. I agree! Being down sucks. Hope you get your sleep worked out. I'm sure your body will need some time to adjust to the different chemicals.

  2. I am on pills that did make me feel whacked over the head with a frying pan. Now they do practically nothing for me, bar block out hallucinations a bit and probably damp my mood from being too hyper and high. I hope they protect against depression too. I'm not spending all day googling them I read the leaflet which contains more info than wikipedia or the medical website they're risperidone 4mg daily

  4. hi i started writing sumut earlier and got interupted. it was in answers to your 5.40 post.
    basically was just saying i have gone "down" again. i have no idea y. i back on anti d's since drought but not mood stabilisers.
    i always presumed mood swings were part of being a woman.pmt, pregnancies, breast feeding, tiredness from endless sleepless nights consoling babies and just generally going from good mood 2 fuming in 2 secs to discipline the kids(i have cut out the hour letting them slowly wind me up 2 fuming now, as it seemed such a waste of time).and possilbly worse 2 come with menopause. so i just accepted them. obviously gear evened all that lot out nicely - but looks like thats not an option any more. anyway cant remember what i was saying.but yeah its such a pain when u've had a couple of good days/hours and u just feel that heaviness creeping on and the colour kinda drains out of things and u notice the windows r mucky. fucking horrible. shit i think i just read in your post that u dint want 2 think or talk about it. sorry. i have lost my point again. ermmmm. yeah. it can fuck right off (depression that is)
    but mood swings i not so sure about,
    i might get panic attacks if they dissapeared!!! sorry. will come back when i remember my point, or if i even had one . . .

  5. Alcohol is a depressant. That might be part of the problem.
