_Aaron_ SG Never mind. Forget the previous post. Think i will change it to, "How to combat mood swings." Ideas anyone?
FireIce SG mood swings are the deadliest weapon around to combat it, u are making it worse best is to leave object alone
Rhonda SG Hmm... I try to be alone if I feel a mood swing coming on. I'll also try to let my close friends know in advance so they can siam (scoot away). hehe! Sometimes, I try to rationalise myself out of it. Sometimes, I indulge in a little self-pity then I realise how ridiculous I sound then laugh over it and it's gone. It's best to acknowledge it, say to yourself, 'OK, I'm feeling sad / depressed / angry / moody / frustrated / whatever because it's just a mood swing and it'll pass.' Then go do something nice like listen to music, watch TV, etc. Good thing about mood swings is... they pass. Just be conscious of it and make sure that when they pass, it's not like a hurricane passing by, leaving massive destruction in its wake! hahaha! Good luck taming da monster!
[email protected]_arms SG usually. Mood swings happen and there is nothing wrong with them. What matters is what you do afterwards that counts. E.g. some silly female user was dissing me about how i couldn;t cook or something. I took offence and snapped, i realised i snapped and apologised at the end. What matters is what u do afterwards.
_Aaron_ SG But personally i think its kinda scary. I haven't experienced one for some time, but yesterday at 4+ i suddenly felt a deep sense of loss. Its almost like a part of me suddenly died. Scary... Then there are periods of time in my life that i just feel so sad and lonely, not coincidentally, i call them my 'periods'. It was so bad that i would cross the road, and ponder whether to let it hit me. haha, sometimes i think i'm half-depressed.
Devil1976 SG Next time when you're feeling something like that, just find somewhere to sit down and rest... Enjoy the scenery or have a drink...
MunnaBhai_MBBS SG usually this type of feelings are associated with a deep melancholic event in the past or loss of a loved one ..Were u attached to someone b4 ? 2ndly if u expereince this feelings without any apparent reason are those with a low self esteem or inferiority complex...Suggest that u see a counsellor or psychiatrist...
_Aaron_ SG Attached to someone? Not really, but i had 2 friends die on me the past 2 years. Perhaps i never did grieve properly for the second one.. LSE/Inferiority complex? Not quite. I don't think i'm inferior at all. Maybe even halfway superior
liyan SG really will hor? really can feel mood swing coming right? and i thought i am weird, no offence... most of my friends think i am weird too. when i feel a mood swing coming on, i will walk away. or keep quite. well mood swing it is called, so sometimes i can be happily yaking with friends, then suddenly there is an air of dead silence from my direction. most friends who knows me well enough will jolly well ignore me and carry on with the conversation. they know if they stop to ask me why i am silent i will lapse into something more serious.
