ach, the moodiness!
It is killing me! Well, perhaps not *killing* me, but it's a downright pain in the rear. I just said yesterday that I was beginning to get a handle on this freakish and mercurial state of mind I seem to be in possession of.... and look at me today. At the feet of the Great Moodiness.
I know that this will pass, possibly even within the hour... but man! I want it to smooth out, I want even-keeled, I want calm. And, of course, I want it now, preferably yesterday.
Patience, right? Patience and time and mental work.
Thank you for listening to me rant. I guess that's all I have to say for now.
take care, all...

This is an excerpt from the book "You Can be Happy No Matter What"
Happy Reading:
Happy Reading:
Moods are a human condition. You can't avoid them. You aren't going to stop changing moods by reading this book - this can't happen. What can happen is that you can understand that moods are part of being human. Rather than staying stuck in a low mood, convinced you are seeing life realistically, you can learn to question your judgment when you're in this state. You will always see life and the events in it differently, in different moods. When you are in a low mood, learn to pass it off as simply that: an unavoidable human condition that will pass with time, if you leave it alone and avoid giving it too much attention.
With an understanding of moods, we can learn to be appreciative of our highs and graceful in our lows. This contrasts sharply with what most of us do in a low mood where we try to think, figure, or force our way out of it. But you can't force your way out of a low mood any more than you can force yourself to have a good time doing something you don't like. The more force (or thought) you put into it, the lower you sink.

It really does suck those day's but it will get better, then in 6 months down the road another road block of emotions. I think it was almost 9 months before it leveled out. I kept trying to remember my body and all it's mechanisms was healing and with that all those chemicals we through off balance all those years of drinking. Hang tough, your doing good.

oooooooooooooooh, the depression. I was up and down for about 45 days before things started to level out. Wanted to be happy and just couldn't be...even though I had nothing to be sad about. It's scary just thinking about how I was feeling back then.
Still, I have those days, about twice a month, it hits me all over again for just a few minutes. Really weird. But, I've learned to recognize it, accept it, and then allow it to pass so that I may press on with the rest of my life.
Best Wishes!
