To ask what is wrong with me ?

[Birdgirl67]

Over the last few years Ive yo-yo'd between wanting to be a party animal out all night dancing like I'm 20 again, to then hating going out and wanting to hide away at home to now be that party animal again. It seems its all or nothing with me. I'm mid 40s with 3 children .. I still want to wear the type of clothing I did when I was 20 (except the bare mid-drift outfits!). I want to break free for a day of my responsibilities (parenting, carer, worker, wife, home owner, life admin sorted). Is it just me or do others feel like this too ? I crave some excitement

Nothing wrong with craving excitement. I do sometimes and send out the bat signal to the girls to make it happen and they as well.

It's only once a month or so though, I don't have the energy to let off steam every weekend anymore but it does the power of good.

It could just be absolute fedupness with mundane life.

However, if your mood is unstable i.e. you are swinging from mildly hyper, full of energy, not sleeping well to low mood and low energy then you should see your GP.
