Do you guys ever have any of those moments where your not SURE your depressed or normal, "or good"?? I have been since I took Abilify, just started it yesterday. Woke up feeling.. alright. Pretty good amount of energy, and just feeling OK. That.. in the middle feeling. Then.. later on in the day, I feel kinda.. like.. am I depressed, OK? It's like I don't know what to expect from the complex of the word, "normal", anymore. My nurse keeps saying I have a mood disorder, but.. she has never, at all mentioned what. I keep assuming it's Bi-Polar, but.. who knows? Because I think the first question my psychiatrist asked me when I first seen him was, what runs in your family? Any mental issues? Then I told him my dad has anger and rage, and when I was little my mom told me he used to punch her while she was pregnant with me... and burn ciggarrettes on her body.

So.. what do you guys have to say? What IS the meaning of "normal" or "good" feeling to you? I'm always either.. questioning myself, or.. in complete sorrow and melancholy, have NEVER felt "good" about myself, or life. The only thing that made me feel good was when I took Cymbalta, which wore off and never worked anymore. Then Zoloft, which made me feel like, I remember saying, "I feel like I can do BACKFLIPS!" to my mom, before school, like.. right after taking it. And.. too, wore off, even after raising my dose a few times, then my doc gave up on it. And I did too for that matter...

SORRY long post.
