Give a Hug

I feel like I am the queen of mood swings!  I just returned from my appt w/ my psychiatrist. I thought that I was doing ok, but boy when I started talking to him I started crying & couldn't stop. It's like someone turned the faucet on. I hate it when I keep pushing so hard to do things that are helping others which makes me feel good but then I end up in a flare in the long run. The flare ends up making me really cranky & emotional, which my hubby looks at me like "what's wrong with you?"... Sometimes he doesn't know whether to hug me or leave me alone. I find that I am having to tell him what I need when I need it even though we have been married for 17yrs. To top it off, we have a 12y/o daughter that is now going thru her hormonal stuff as well. My poor hubby has a house full of girls, so there's not a lot of room for HIM to have the mood swings. LOL He just sits back and gives us the room we need to express ourselves.  I do find it helps to talk to others when I am feeling emotional. It helps me to get a perspective on things before I unleash it on my family. There are times that they are the brunt of the emotions so I have to apologize, but they always tell me how much they love me and forgive me every time.  I also find it's helpful to let my docs know about my pain AND emotional well-being so they can do their best to help me. It's a tough battle, but one definitely worth fighting. Best wishes to all of you who struggle with the mood swings. I hope you all find a sense of peace admist the storms. With loving hugs....... |
It unfortunately goes with the territory I think that's right but oops that's another common problem with this crap. Try to stay strong.
