Hi guy's :-)

Does anyone else go through strange mood patterns? And I mean hourly? Throughout the day I go from quite happy/content then the next minute im very sad then I go happy and on and on and on..... This is hourly??? So I Understand depression etc it's not like bipolar so I dont get erratic with it. It's strange isn't it? I go from feeling such love to feeling so sad within minutes. Am I going nutts?

Thanks in advance to all of you x x

If you are then so am I, its all ups and downs. I find I can level it out by drawing or some other art based hobby. Sometimes just zone out with music. xx

Yes! I can most definitely relate to that. I couldn't have explained it better than you have.

Trying to live with this horrid illness is obviously playing havoc with our heads :)

I go through that too. I know what you mean not bipolar but wierd all the same. I never know what mood I am going to be in. I have noticed also concentration is a big help. If I concentrate on something my moods stabilize somewhat.

No your not nuts or bipolar, it's perfectly normal as this condition has a lot to answer for. I find it's very hard to cope with all the mixed emotions it can create, so go with it and here's hoping that talking helps.

Don't worry be happy πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜€πŸ˜…πŸ˜β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜

I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue. I must admit that on occasion that I have felt that way but it is not a regular thing for me.

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi there.

Yes I know the feeling. I feel like my moods are like a ping pong ball 😁 if that makes sense. It's a real pain. I'm sure my 8 yr old thinks I'm crazy 😁.

As a Buddhist I try and chant which helps or I colour in my anti stress books. That can be nice for a few minutes until my bloody hands starts killing me.

Gentle hugs to every one. X

I know exactly what you mean. I was having the exact conversation with my partner the other day. I'm happy one minute and then completely change n feel a bit low my mood can change several times a day. My partner is a bit of joker and things that I would have laughed at a year ago I take to heart now it's strange isn't it. Gentle hugs hope you are feeling better :)

It's hard to ask if other's feel like this but this is the best place to ask. Wish we all lived in the same place so we could all just meet up for a cuppa x x

BlueMermaid3β€’ in reply toKeeleybee

Know exactly what you mean. It's really lovely to have a place where we can ask questions or for advice without being judged.

How nice would it be to meet up for a chat? We'd never get passed the "how are you" bit though πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ xx

Hi ☺ yes I have this too, I try to not show it otherwise my poor kids would be so confused but sometimes it's unavoidable when I get into the dark moods. Since I have been in pain with Fibromyalgia I have not been able to excercise (I used to run a lot) and I think that used to really help me, I also weigh three stone more than I did and that's made my depression worse! Vicious circle πŸ˜• xxx

Me to :-( my niece who is 3 asked if I as having a baby.... I would to exercise more. I used to walk 5 miles every day and be on the go all the time....sigh x

Iv done a bit of glossing to :-) but now I'm sitting as my body is screaming at me! So I understand what you mean. Will be on complete rest now. Oh my mind wants me to go out shopping all day get ready and go out, fibro is cruel! But yes how can we be fine and then that bus driver sees us smile and BANG he has drove over us again!

We have to keep going though.... This pain and lifeless body is the norm now.

Hi, My moods are just as you have described. I have had fibromyalgia for about ten years and rebuilding your life is tough especially when your moods are all over the place. I have learned to cope with all the physical symptoms and have accepted my limitations but the mental ones are hard to deal with. You have my empathy. xrandomtulip

Keeleybee profile image
Keeleybeeβ€’ in reply to

I get what you mean it's like you can't get out of your own head... I said previously fibro is cruel! It's almost like losing yourself, reminding yourself that you should feel joy. Iv said to my friend at work 'I look fine, I look happy, inside I'm screaming and crying'

Hope you are doing ok today x x

β€’ in reply toKeeleybee

I am new to communicating like this, feels odd but fibro., is so limiting I recognize that I need to make another baby step. So this is my step, getting the hang of it is tricky when brain is like treacle. Sometimes I feel positively thick. Foggy brain an issue at mo. But hope I will conquer it. Do you call this blogging or what? Hope all is well. xxx

Hi, I suppose it depends with the times you take your medicatiob.

I know it affects me just coming up to the time to take it, can change your mood. Jim x

Keeleybeeβ€’ in reply tocookieman

That's true I get mardy when I feel the pain building up..... Like now :-( x

When my pain starts build I find that I am gritting my teeth and as soon as I recognize it make my self relax. I can feel in my body that the seasons are changing as soon as autumn is around the corner aching starts to increase. Another friend who has fibro., says she experiences the same. Hope all is wellish..xx

Keeley.....been like that my whole life. Everything thinks I am bipolar because my moods change so much. I call myself empathic....that means I feel whatever or whoever is around me. My surroundings affect me. Their pain, their joy. It is very upsetting sometimes. I can watch a really intense movie,sad or something and walk away with all that emotion in me still.

It can also be called highly sensitive. Elaine Aron wrote many books on this, and is just recently produced a movie on it trying to share with the world this trait. She is from California. Saved me reading these books. We have 15 different feelers out of our brain when the rest of the world has 3...This is sort of how to explain it. We feel, hear, see, smell, taste so much more than the average person.

I hope you can find some peace with this personality trait. It is who you are. Not something to be ashamed of, afraid of, or ostracized with a deviant label. It has taken me a long time to embrace who I am, and not be afraid someone is going to put me in a loony bin on medication.

Keeleybeeβ€’ in reply toNatura

How interesting! Iv never heard of this before.... My husband says I have a noise like a sniffer dog.

I go through so many emotions in such a short space of time.

Thanks for sharing this with me x

Hi there! two years ago I bought a series of CD's Mindfulness for Depression and Mindfulness for pain relief from amazon. Made a big difference, would recommend these. Helped me to focus on the moment and when I recognize that I am feeling more pain whether physical for mental or emotional I do a mental scan of myself and take a deep breath. On the other hand when things get to much I'll take a couple of paracetamol and a small glass of wine and within half an hour everything eases. Of course do not do this regularly. It sounds irresponsible but at times I don't care. xxxx

I get quite bad mood swings 1 minute am fine next am not
