Hi Butterfly,

As always you make a perceptive and honest response. Yes, we are responsible for our moods, although I notice that you use some speech marks around 'caused' . In one sense I guess we cause them, but in another sense I think they happen to us.

I think that we don't consciously cause them, but we do have to consciously deal with them - that's a fact.

Good idea about the diversions. I just get myself out of the house for a while,and quickly recognise that I am caught in the mood it again. The good news is that the sooner we recognise we are there, the sooner we can deal with it.

I have noticed that regular people (the ones without a diagnosis) are usually pretty useless with their own moods, it's as if they don't think they have them! LOL - (to myself).

Cheers, M
