wavy line; that is, if you imagine a piece of paper with a line through the middle, denoting "normal" mood, as well as fluctuating each side of normal ("high and low") it has been known to stay high, above the line of normality, and to still follow the wobbly line, or, more commonly, to remain low, always below "normal" but still endlessly wobbling on and on. Does that "mean" anything...? Probably not. But does that happen to anyone else? If so, please tell me.
I told one of my doctors about this donkeys years ago... then the shrink at the drugs clinic, who I used to see every week, some years ago, noticed it herself and proposed LITHIUM..!! The last thing I wanna take! All it's good for (so I hear) is for breaking open and sprinkling on your chips (and British chips are like really fat French fries)... with vinegar. As for other mood stabilizers, my GP prescribed carbamazepine (Tegretol) about 18 years ago... I never did know why. I took it, then gave up on it. Then took it again, as a one-off, when I couldn't sleep and it brought me out in a terrible rash. My skin looked like wax. Never again.
I'm only popping the quetiapine (Seroquel) 300mgs out of desperation. If I ever feel like I want "out", I need only pop 150mg during the day, and daytime slumber is assured. And in case you're viewing that as borderline drug-abuse, it's actually prescribed as 150mg twice a day. I only take 300mg at night for convenience. Because ordinarily I don't like being knocked out during the day. I don't know what else I wanted to say. Nothing really. I'm OK. I'm OK. OK. Don't worry about me...

Yep up and down and round and round here too . . . all over the place!
I think most folk are.
I think you might say "but not to this extent" . . . but I think you'd be surprised.
That's a lot of thinks don't you think?
No wonder I got a headache (which I haven't anymore)
I am in a strange mood though.
Hey ho day one (again) over with ;-)
Hope you feel good tomorrow, with love x
So I know you won't post a picture but will you say whether you are male or female?
I just added your web page to my bookmarks. I enjoy reading your posts. Thank you!
I think most people have up and down moods, though maybe not quite as up and down as you do Gleds.
I hear that woman are more moodier then men.My ex hubby use to say that.
I don't think the weather helps - whilst for many the sun shining makes them happy I notice for others the heat makes them depressive...
Take care
Anon: I am a man, but I'm turning into a woman (long story).
Yeah it has been so hot. I thought hot sunny days were meant to make you feel happy. They don't me... :-(
DID Y'ALL KNOW, LONDON WAS ONLY AT A PEAK OF 27c, 80f LAST WEEK (I'M WRITING THIS ON MONDAY 30th JULY)... IT FELT FAR HOTTER... UP IN THE 90s... MY DAD SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE HUMIDITY AND HE WAS RIGHT. IT GOT HUMID ENOUGH THAT RANDOM RAINDROPS STARTED DROPPING OUT OF THE AIR ON SOME DAYS... I THINK WHEN THAT HAPPENS WE'VE REACHED SATURATION POINT AND 100% HUMIDITY...
