AIBU in thinking something is wrong

43 replies

Hai1988 · 16/07/2010 16:46

Hi all i am just wondering if there is somthing wrong or weather i am just being silly..

I have been having really bad mood swings, some days i can feel really good and happy like today is one of them days.

But other days i am really down and dont evan wanna get out of bed in the mornings and cry for no reasons and get really snappy at my DH.

It has no relevants to my cycle as it is all the time up and down not just at menstrual time.

Been feeling like this for a few months now, but cant remeber when exactly it started.

What is it and how do i make my down days go
away!!

BTW I did post this is mental health to, its just i know that aibu is a busy thread and i really need some answers.

Don't know if it's already been said, but have you changed your contraception this year? If so, it could be that.

I am not disputing that some GPs aren't great when it comes to mental health/addictions BUT they are getting a lot better.

Sounds like this that or the other is very different to taking a full family medical history and applying someone elses situation to your own which could be a million miles different.

I once had a tumour on my spine - but I wouldn't consider myself an expert on tumours.

Justmaking suggestions. Not attempting to diagnose. I have a lot of experience to share if that's helpful great if not ignore it. Resent assertion I'm likening it to my own experience

Ladyanonymous · 17/07/2010 17:21

Well you are because you just wrote a post about your own experience and have suggested several times which condition you think the OP has.

If the OP now goes off and Goggles that condition she could be in a right state even before she makes it to the GP - or worse.

hairytriangle · 17/07/2010 17:28

Lady anonymous. No I'm not. Let's just sagree to disagree. You can stop baiting me now .

hairytriangle · 17/07/2010 17:32

I haven't said I think she has anything. I've been careful to post that it could be. The op has asked for support and suggestions. It's a bit tiresome - you seem to be going out of your way to pick up my posts. I'm not playing. Either the op finds the suggestions helpful or she doesn't I'm sure she can make her own mind up on that. Many of us have suggested seeing gp. She says she us going to.

Ladyanonymous · 17/07/2010 17:33

Not baiting. Just airing my opinion on an interent forum but yes I agree that we see the situation from slightly different viewpoints.

I just worry sometimes that however well meaning we may be it can sometimes do more harm than good.

Mental illness is really scary and to think you may suffer from a long term condition rather than a bout of depression which may never return could make the problem worse.

Ladyanonymous · 17/07/2010 17:34

and don't sell tickets on yourself I am not stalking you - just disagree with a lot of what you say.

Thought that was the whole point of AIBU - to have a good respectful debate?

hairytriangle · 17/07/2010 17:37

Stalking??? What are you on about lol

Ladyanonymous · 17/07/2010 17:38

My "armchair diagnosing" remark wasn't aimed at anyone in particular anyway - you took it that I had aimed it at you

hairytriangle · 17/07/2010 17:42

To the op: I really apologise if any of my posts have been scary in any way. It was the mood swing part which alerted me to the suggestions I made about what it could be as I know some conditions can be hard to spot even by professionals. I hope you get a solution from your gp and I'm so sorry you've been suffering for a while.

Good luck.

GypsyMoth · 17/07/2010 17:45

You don't appear to be acknowledging the posters who are pointing out that you have posted many times about a very stressful and controlling relationship you are in.

I was depressed for years, medication, the whole shebang. I dumped him. And hey presto, no more depression.

Sometimes depression can be the brain's natural response to the conflict that comes with knowing you are in an untenable situation yet you are squashing down all your survival instincts to run and trying to 'cope' instead. It is unbelievably exhausting on the spirirt.

I have posted on my other thread that things are great now between me and DH.
