Me, I have varied mood swings alot. I can be extreamly happy one minute, then miserable the next. Of course, when I'm single, I'm happy as a clam for extended periods of time. I'm never mad, angry depressed or short fused at all.
After a short review of my emotional health, I can only come to one conclusion...Women make you nuts!!
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!! Do you happen to have the brand? And what was in it in particular that was supposed to prevent the gestation of a likely ADHD kid?Originally Posted by SevenStar

heh....i think alot of people would get help with some meditation in their lives. everyone has mood swings. its part of being of human and having a mind and emotions. doesn't mean anything is wrong with you.
i wonder at what point does not controlling them lead to full on psychosis where you lose all control? are they preventable or does something like BP just turn on like a switch?
all i do know is the psychology/psychiatry field is seriously lacking... we dont even have a definition for consciousness or a complete working model for how the the mind works, but they prescribe drugs to "fix" your brains chemistry...
can you imagine trying to fix a car or computer (which is far less complicated by comparison) without having the first clue how it operates?

It's different for different people. Usually it's outside factors that can trigger a change in mood (ie: limited amount of daylight after daylights savings time, a sad memory being triggered), othertimes there really is no explanation. It's the depression stages that are the most dangerous. There have been days where I could not physically get out of bed. Some of these times there was absolutely no good reason to be depressed...good job, no debt problems, house, food, family all in good spirits. That's where it can be frustrating.
Personally, medication has usually made my mood worse, often trapping me in a low mood if that is where I was when I started taking it. Plus it's expensive as crap, and 9/10ths of the year I am usually just fine. I also don't have the money or time to be playing lab-rat while the doctor tries to find the right combo. I feel forturnate that I am either normal (most of the time) or low. I don't get the rapid swings between high and low. I do get racing thoughts/ideas occasionally, as well as trouble sleeping. This has been the basis of being diagnosed with BP as opposed to just depression. But for me, programming computers all day, my mind tends to start working like a computer, which can lead to racing thoughts at the end of the day.
Another big problem is doctors not listening to their patients. I have had quite a few medical problems due to injuries and stuff, so I know exactly how my body reacts to certain families of drugs. But most PHDs have head-in-cement syndrome, and believe (or at least give the impression) that the patient is just a head case who knows nothing. I have done so much research on this subject that I have corrected a couple physchiatrists on their comments. I am no expert, but they should be.

i had this thought a few months ago, and its kinda ironic with all the madness religion is causing to people. but at the most basic level religions like hinduism, buddhism, taoism, sufism...etc etc were early forms of psychological therapy. just food for thought.

Not only can imagine it I've tried it many times. It's all part of being a man.can you imagine trying to fix a car or computer (which is far less complicated by comparison) without having the first clue how it operates?
OCD people are fun to be around. I worked with someone with OCD and god help you if you sat on his desk or moved anything. One night shift sysop had it down and would move the guys things just a tiny little bit.

So they shouldn't prescribe anything until they've completely figured everything out? Humans make progress slowly by trial and error.

true but do we have to be wreckless about it? would you let your family live in a home built by an engineer experimenting with new and unproven, potentially dangerous building methods? these medications are largely unnecassary for the majority of people using them as everyone has mentioned. when a person genuinely needs medications, he/she pretty much becomes a guinea pig. someones mind is not one of those things you figure out by trial and error. im sure anyone will tell you electro-shock treatment is no fun.
plus the added fact that a lot of the medications marketed today seem to be driven by profits and not the need to help people. marketing is the key word. if something is truly effective do you really need 10 commercials about it during the superbowl. or will the results speak for themselves? and shouldn't your doctor be prescribing them, instead of your going to the doctor and requesting? lol do you think they needed to market penicillin?

Unnessesary medications are exactly the reason I no longer work in the mental health field.It doesn't seem to matter how much new research and alternative treatments are available with most doctors, they seem bound and determined to administer the latest greatest chemical restraints as they are developed. My conclusion after eight years in the field is that all mood and mind altering drugs used for mental health are simply chemical restaints. Many will argue and they always do, but I've seen zero evidence to the contrary.
