over the last two years I've tried lots of things. Currently I'm taking welbutrin, vyvanse, clonazopam, and lunesta. Boy, typing that out makes it seem like a lot of things to be on. But, it works.
. Feeling cranky today myself so I have no good advice except listen to what everyone else said. I've already diagnosed you with PAWS... I expect the check is in the mail

Hi Stone.
I have that too!!!! Huge Mrs Cranky Pants attacks. Then huge feelings of despair like the worst depression or intense homesick feelings. I have visions of hurting people even - specially Mum. Then I get big old happy feelings like nothing at all is wrong.
Sometimes it's our sugar levels. It's in the back of the Under The Influence book - you know the first one not the second one!! I haven't read that part yet though.
This is one hell of a ride isn't it??

wait'll you get menopause, steph.
puberty ... all over again .. wioth experience.
wooHOO ... all that ... and your own private summer.
'swing' ... to me ... insinuates a ... progressive thing.
a back and forth kind of motion thing.
there
is
NOTHING
progressive
or predictable
with what comes over me from time to time.
it's more like ..... teleportation ... than a swing.
a light switch.
on.
off.
sideways.
I mean, people around me are pulling g's like astronauts in training trying to keep up.

Morning Stone.
I've been on a low GI diet and that has helped my mood and my weight, but I have to confess although its been a demanding year, I've felt pretty stable since the Springtime. It's like there's a layer where all the emotions take place, and there's a layer below that that's, well, stable.
Hope you feel well and glad to see you're still doing meetings. One day at a time, it'll get better - promise.
