Rapid mood declines... just depression?
443386
being biplor and having other personality disorders has a lot more characteristics than just random mood swings\nif you already say you have depression, then i'm sure you are just in the "regular depression" like you say you are.\nhowever, it may all be just hormones, other stuff..being sad doesn't necessarily mean you are depressed, unless you have of course been diagnosed.

To me it sounds like depression.   I suffered from depression for years.  I wasn't necessarily suicidal, but tired as could be.  A lot of times doctors do miss this major symptom of depression.  Also, did you have blood tests, cause thyroid problems can cause severe tiredness as well.  Perhaps find another doctor to give you a second opinion.  If you're that tired there has to be something wrong.  That is just not normal.  good luck :)

Well this could be both physical and emotional? Depression makes many stay in bed and very tired, but also low blood sugar, mono, ect. You need to make an apt. with your medical doctor so he/she can take blood work. This is the place to start. If you know you are depressed although, you can either talk to your medical doctor or you can speak to a professional about whats going on. I would speak to your medical doctor first and let him order blood work for you. It may be just that you like to sleep. Good Luck and please make an appointment with you doctor!

DEPRESSED. All joking aside, I believe you can type "Medical Terminology" in the Yahoo Search bar. Medical Dictionaries have a word (or more) for every condition and everything.

That really depends. You could try something like caffeine which MIGHT offer a temporary surge of energy which might get you to feeling a bit better, but professional care is really the best way to go if you are feeling very depressed, especially if it lasts any length of time (over a week or so).

yes i find that as soon as Fall gets closer i start to feel very different and find myself saying the holidays are coming next, u can get thru it just for a couple of months then the sun will start shining again and it will get better. but it's so hard for some of us just to get thru those winter months. for me it's a time when family and friends get together and enjoy each other and express their love for one another. unfortunately, my parents and grandparents have all passed away and i live away from my other relatives so this time is especially hard. it seems that the two friends that i do have sometimes may not want to spend as much time with me cause they know i get the "blahs" during this time. sometimes u can't let urself think that way cause u know it's ur depressed mood that causes u to see things differently. i'm currently on disability which has helped me a great deal cause there are many days that i can't function properly and can not hold down a steady job. this has lead to isolation though cause i don't have a car currently so i spend allmost everyday in the house alone and this can cause the depression to get worse. what i find that helps is at least making contact with someone everyday whether it's on the phone or trying to get out of the house to run some errands. it's true that the more sunlight that shines into ur eyes helps decrease depression. i've had a doctor tell me before to lay in a tanning bed for the ultraviolet light with extra sun screen, but that costs money and unfortunately can cause skincancer if ur not careful. i also find that if i can at least go to church or watch spirital programs on tv that helps me get through it knowing that God will not place anything on u that u cannot bear. i'm not sure how spiritual u r. and believe it or not, i find that getting on here and responding to some people's questions has helped me alot cause if i can help someone with something due to something i've gone thru myself then that makes me feel better. hope i've helped u some. Good Luck and God Bless:)

I'm feeling really down right now too but my life isn't going good at all so that's my reason. As for you, try doing something that you like. Think about things that make you happy and make you smile. Everybody has moments when they are down. I'm sure yours will pass soon. Maybe you just need to clear your mind and get some rest and relaxation. I hope you feel better.

Most Possibly it is the Seasonal Depression Disorder... I don't think this "disorder" cares what time of the year it is, and it could be caused by all kinds of things. Also, when things go wrong all at once, it is just your turn. A lot of people experience this throughout the year, and just like you, it happens all at once. I call it the "balance of nature", like sometimes the gazelle are able to get away from the cheetahs who are hunting them, and sometimes not. Hence, you are the gazelle, and he cheetahs are everything going wrong. The week is closing, so I hope you feel better soon. Try to make yourself go out and do something to take your mind off it. I understand it can be hard, but try.

If your change of mood is a reaction to external factors (harsh words, nasty behavior)-it is not "bi-polar", I think you are just "thin-skinned" and sensitive. It is difficult to be like that. I am like that, and I am a woman. As I understand, you are a guy, and it is even more difficult. You may try to cope with is yourself - for example, saying to youself after you hear something unpleasant:"It's only an opinion", or "Poor girl/guy, he's really unhappy if he behaves like that".  Do not take antidepressants - only in dire straits.It may seem easy - you take a pill, and life is beautiful and nice again. First - they do not make you happy. And mood swings can persist. And then - antidepressants slow you down, ruin your muscles tonus etc. Only in case of real neurosis and/or  depression you can take them, and never without a good doctor's advice. Try do fight your mood swings yourself. It requires  some kind of moral discipline, but it is possible. The moment you are unhappy -try to think about something good and beautiful, some good experience, for example. If you can think of nothing good -it may happen -try to stop thinking at all. Blank your mind for a while. Make efforts in order not to ruminate negative thoughts and bad things. If you can not make it on your own - go to a psychologist, a good one, again. But remember - no doctor can help you if you do not make your own efforts. It's about YOUR LIFE

yes there are mood swings. May be due to the hormone imbalance at that time..

I hear where your coming from.  You have cone to the point in life when you feel no longer like superwomen.  I felt the same way. now i'm 48 and new disease's is what my doctor has discovered. Lupas, diabetes and everything else is going wrong. I have depression too, I feel isolated.\nBut my feeling are like this, God is in Controll of my self being, even though I've had to slow myself down quite a bit.\nI have learned to seek out Nature, take pictures, paint\nshells and leave a few for other people to find on the beach. Especially the kids to find something pretty that they can take home. do things that give back to nature.\nYou will feel yourself at your very best. I wish you well, and let happiness shine thru you. Prayers to God will really help you to get ready! God Bless you Spiritually!
