Any tips for dealing with mood swings?

[petrified]

Hi has anyone got any tips for dealing with mood swings, I get really fed up of one minute feeling really happy to the next being really low and down. I'm on fluxotine and propananol and am doing really well on these, just wondering if anyone had ideas on how I can rid these mood swings or how I can deal with them better. Thanks

Hello petrified,

Hopefully you are working with a psychiatrist to find some medicine that can help even out the mood swings. I do have ideas on how to help you deal with them. Beyond the biochemical aspects of what you are having to deal with, there are triggers that can frequently drive these swings. I have some methods and tools that help people identify these triggers and then learn how to handle them. Would you like to give it a try?

I was changing, I mean my psychiatrist was trying a lot of meds on me. She got me settled pretty well. I am so grateful. I feel better then in the last ten years. Even I get kicked up by life pretty often :) You need to tell her what's going on with you. I am on gabapentin on small doses which works as mood stabilizer. My mood swings tear my family apart and keep me pretty antysocial:) No is much better
