Can we feel good without being manic?
Can we feel down without being depressed? I feel like these bp mood states described by professionalles really hinder our happiness. I have this fear of becoming manic and its a recurring dream I have almost every other night. Its okay to feel emotions. It doesnt mean you are in a crisis. |

Sometimes I can't tell the difference between being happy or manic. I have something coursing through my veins and should be able to see if for what I'm told it is but it's hard to not just chalk it up to feeling good and giving myself permission for feeling good.
Without doctors I would consider myself more sane than I do with them but I'm not sure that's reality. Or at least not the reality of others. It's confusing....I will give you that. |

Psych Labels help to identify maladaptive behaviour and dysfunction.
If my mood and subsequent actions dont impair my functionality or disrupt my life, I don't pathologize it. |

I hardly ever label anything as an episode it just is what it is and I let my doctors handle the label.

I only consider moods a problem if they affect my life in a negative way.
Like I'm really depressed right now and consider it more than just feeling down because I'm suicidal and haven't been doing anything, except for watching stupid cooking shows and staring at walls.

I agree with raspberrytorte, in fact, could have written her post except with me it's DIY network instead of cooking shows.
