I don't know what's wrong with me. I made a bad joke to a cooworker, luckily he was cool with a simple apology- but I don't know what compelled me. like apartial possession or something- then several other times I had to hold back from saying reandom mean comments to several other people who I consider my friends- I don't know what's wrong with me today. I've felt this way before, but rarely. I'm on a med regimen for anxiety and depression, take my prescription regularly, but sometimes I can't explain my thoughts or behavior. I'm a nice person by nature, perhaps it's slight bipolar?

Dear LabLover23,

Doesn't it happen to all of us now and then? I mean even to people who haven't the slightest mental problem at all? For most people, I'd bet, life is hard, particularly from time to time. And we just want to lash out and be mean, even if that's not recognizably "us." I would doubt, I'm no expert, but I would doubt that having a bad day means a diagnosis of bipolar. We're not in paradise here, and the amount of faeces most normal people are forced to consume is not insignificant. You may not even realize it when it happens. But it does. And with some degree of frequency. Even to BILL GATES. I'd bet even Mother Theresa had her off times. So, my two cents (and that's all it is), is to reassure yourself you're okay, go to sleep early tonight and, if possible, do something pleasant before you go to sleep.

Take care!

Hi Lablover... it might be a good idea to give your doctor a call. As you know since you posted on my thread I am having some mixed days of the bi polar crazies. I know I have been biting my lip to keep from taking things out on my son. Sometimes nasty humour comes out of me towards some one safe when I am mad at myself or the world in general. When I feel bad I lash out sometimes. Like a bubbling over of rage. Not sure if that is anything like what you are talking about but maybe see if you can find the motivation from within. What might you be mad about that you can address head on instead of it popping out in ways you don't want it to.

Just a thought. Mostly I think you might want to talk with your doctor if things don't improve soon.

Take good care.

Thanks for all of your kind words and advice. I know, I do have some bad days. The weird thing is, this wasn't one of them. It was just random, I've actually been in a really good mood all day, a bit more energy then normal actually.

Dear ((((((((Lablover))))))))

I think we all feel like that at times; I know that when I'm in really chronic pain with fibromyalgia and the frozen shoulder, the smallest things irritate me and out cometh the cranky one to let everyone know shes there but not happy.

I always apologise and it passes quickly because my man is a god & an instant forgiver because he knows it is the pain talking and not me.

I've had frozen shoulder along with fibromyaliga playing up for weeks now hitting me hard and I've been getting about 3hrs sleep a night and being a zombie during the day because of that and the pain medications.

Be a little easier on yourself; at least even though you think of saying mean things, you don't actually do it on a large scale. Each time you feel like telling a mean joke or saying mean things, take a huge deep breath and just let it go. It's not much of a solution but it can be really effective,

Loving thoughts,

Rhian

Hello, Lab. Even the most compassionate persons are fallible.

Love yourself, my friend. You are the lead dancer in life's promenade. Take care.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I think perhaps I just have slight PMDD sometimes, I didn't realize until today that that's what it was. =)

A new awareness is often comforting. Wishing you a happy day.
