I've been told that my mood lately has been presumptious, condescending, and mean. I take my pills everyday, I avoid my triggers, and still there is nothing I can do to control this. Part of me knows that I'm being a horrible person, but the other part just doesn't care. This dichotomy is present in my whole personality. I am beginning to believe that I do not understand what it is to be sincere. I can see things from others' point of views; I empathize very easily. So the problem with this is that I never commit to one side of things. In every situation I am plagued with doubt and disbelief and struggle to make decisions because I can't decide between the choices. When I should be confident, I am full of doubt. It's like 2 different people live in my head and they never agree on anything. How do I make the arguing stop? How do I learn to quiet the voices and stick to a decision?

I'm wondering if you aren't depressed. The crabby mood and inability to make decisions are what makes me wonder.

Are you seeing a therapist? I recommend that. Or talk to a psychiatrist about what is happening. Your meds might need to be adjusted.

I am at a similar place, and like the above posters, my pdoc says that I am likely to be depressed. I am now taking bupropion, and she says that should help my mood.

If you can, take a time out from the world and write out everything that is upsetting you. I have found this to be a useful tool when I am feeling irritable.

Blessings to you, hope you feel better soon.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
