It has me going back and thinking about what I could have been mourning over when I was in my blues from time to time... <BR/><BR/>I always figured that I had a chemical (bi-polar)/hormonal imbalance and that when the time came for me to be in a vulnerable mood, I would fixate on some idea that is a sore spot in my heart. Then my mind would take over and try to destroy my life. <BR/>Well, I am on the shot (Depo, birht control)!! and I tell you what, no more periods or PMS or PMDD or sad days for me. Once I saw my Gyno to ask her what was wrong with me and she gave me Prozac... I think it wouldn't hurt for you to look into what your mom suggested. It could be chemical. Or you could be very sensitive when it comes to your emotions and things and people you don't even realize are affecting you. Like maybe you had a very quick thought about something sad on your way to work and the mood that it brought you took longer to go away than the actual thought....sphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702948966041039636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165755272913776498.post-69226492870973091882008-05-30T11:51:00.000-04:002008-05-30T11:51:00.000-04:00Have you read a New Earth?

I am going to read up on meditation and try that also.quarter-life-crisishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061236857754393227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165755272913776498.post-62411436682524069292008-05-29T17:09:00.000-04:002008-05-29T17:09:00.000-04:00Well lets see I have gone through sever blue perio...Well lets see I have gone through sever blue periods in my life and I think that sometimes it is how we deal with the death of a certain phase in life or some times its the ego trying to fight and keep you beholden to it. I think at your age you are putting away childish things and I think that perhaps your subconscious may grieve that a little bit, ie depression. <BR/><BR/>When I built my new house after my divorce I went through a major depression I mean I remember it so clearly, well it was only like November of last year. But it was crazy because from the outside everything looked rosy. I had done it I had done exactly what I said I would when my ex was all THIS IS MY HOUSE I’m not leaving! I simply said you can have it I CAN GET ANOTHER HOUSE! So you would have thought that my life should have been bottle and collar popping, “I Will Survive” karaoke singing all over the place. Instead I would be at work depressed knowing I was depressed but crying and saying what is wrong with me my life is good. <BR/><BR/>I just prayed and got through and now with my wonderful hindsight I can see that I was mourning the true end of my marriage. The completion of the FINAL goal signified to me that it was finished. And while you know I don’t regret my decision, my marriage is the one major thing in my life that I failed at. <BR/><BR/>Now when I was in your age range I went through a bout of depression and spirituality where I realized what my personal relationship with Him was going to be and determining that as opposed to what I was raised to do and what was engrained in my head about God, religion, and church. I think that might be where you are. I wanted to explore new things and stuff but my ex was never into that so he was always pulling the other way. It’s funny how he found God when I left, but I sometime think that may have been our purpose for him to actually take God seriously. Anyway that is WAY off topic. <BR/><BR/>I think as long as you know you are depressed that it helps you know just hang in there and work it through and if you need to talk to a mental health professional I don’t think there is ANYTHING wrong with it. I think it helps you realize that you shouldn’t be asking why ARE people crazy, but why aren’t they. That’s a quote from Gray’s <BR/>Hope this helped! <BR/><BR/>-OGOG, The Original Glamazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041450250560458185noreply@blogger.com
