Was feeling okay, then I felt very lonely like nobody loved me. I wanted to drink. But I knew that would make me more sad. So a friend called and we talked for a few minutes. He suggested music and a book. I'm having cereal with music on.

How can I go from feeling fine for days then feeling unloved and sad and lonely? I've taken my meds to the T.

(((Moose))) Sometimes these things hit us out of the blue. It doesn't make any sense. Good for you for not drinking. I hope the feeling passes soon.

I'm chatting with a friend on facebook. Feeling better.

Glad you reached out and its helping. I do the "i feel good" to "im depressed and sad " very easily .. Just ride the rollercoaster and know that this too will pass
thank goodness for facebook

Not to mention here!

I don't know why I go from okay to upset... at least I feel better now. I don't usually do actual fast bipolar cycling. I just think sometimes my moods get away from me and I get at a loss for how to cope.

It can make you depressed to not have anyone to interact with, to touch or be touched or to physically talk with and share thoughts and ideas. Humans are not programmed to be alone.

And you are right. A drink won't help.

Reaching out to a friend was a great idea.

I was experiencing that recently too. But I think the depth of the mood swing was moderated by the meds. As in, it would have been much worse if I weren't being good about taking my handful of pills and supplements.

Still, it's confusing and worrisome to start having those feelings again after things have been relatively stable. It makes me terrified that the horrible is coming back.

I didn't feel like my brain had taken off and dragged me along like i sometimes do when episodes flare. I just felt depressed. In fact, I slept until 12:30 today and dreamed a lot- avoidance. I did go out with a friend today and that was nice. I feel sad again. Maybe I'm in a phase where I need people around- at least good people.

Poor Moose. Keep taking care of yourself and doing all that you can to keep this from growing into a full depression! I'm proud of you for not drinking, talking with your friends, and going out.

[Moose72]

I don't know why I feel a need for people to love me lately. I just need hugs and little things get to me more than they should. Two or three days ago, I was just fine.

Hope this help for a little bit.

I've been up for an hour now. Yesterday I slept six more hours. This can't be good. I didn't go to bed all that early.
