I have been having so many thoughts go through my head its unbelievable. The thing that has been the worst is my mood swings. One minute I'm happy and the next I just want to cry I'm so upset. Growing up I always had someone putting me down. And now its like I'm always on the defense. It drives my boyfriend crazy. We always fight. And somehow it's always me that's blown it out of proportion. At the time its such a big deal but when I look back on it I'm just like "wow, I just made myself look like an idiot" I can't feel happiness anymore it seems. Seriously, nothing makes me happy. I nit pick, is what my boyfriend calls it. I find something to be upset about. I have been on medication before like prozac, lexapro, and trazadone. But they just make me feel numb. Do you think there is a way where I can deal with this on my own? I really need to fix this. It's ruining my relationship. I just want to know what happiness feels like again.

Griffo agony auntTo both of you. Your battle is within your self. Pills do not work it's all mind over matter. A good trick is to find somthing. A passion, somthing you love, somthing that represents everything you are and want to be and do with your life. This thing will be what people will know you by. But it is only within you you that will find it. Here are some examples:

Excersize training

Art

Sport

Crafts

Home business

Religion

It could be many things but you need to find the one thing you love for YOU yourself.

I am going through the same thing right now with my husband. It has totally ruined my marriage. I don't know what to do either. I have taken Celexa and that seemed to help alot, but now I'm breastfeeding our new baby and I can't be on any of that stuff. If you really love him, you're just going to have to dig deep inside yourself and show him. I'm the kind of wife that nit picks about everything, accuses him of everything you can think of on a daily basis, starts little arguments for no reason at all. Sometimes even if you know something you have to bite your tongue. It's very hard to do that, but you have to. Just take this from someone who is going through the same exact thing right now. We are married and have 2 children though.
