I am slightly manic depressive. Every now and then something will send me off into the depressive zone and it is a dank dark pit of suck

I will admit, sometimes I will stay FIRMLY and purposefully in a particular mood when that detached just to know and remember what that feeling feels like. As destructive as it can be. Same with anger.

But I remember the days when you were in that place more often than not, and I'm glad that you're not as helpless against it now.

Much much love Bryan.

Yeah, I'm glad this has gone to being just a couple of times per year.

It's episodes like the one you're describing that I generally update my livejournal talking about how great my life is.

[angelo13]

I could wax poetic about how awesome I am, but I can't fight brain chemicals. They listen to neither logic nor emotion.

[divi_filius]

Well, I'm mostly being ironic.

Yeah, sometimes I get negative/angry and force myself to stay in that mode to explore the full extent of it, all while the logical parts of my brain are going "this isn't constructive." But the awareness is key.

Man, it's weeks like this that almost make me believe in astrology. I've been in a black, fuming, slow-burn fury for four days.

when I get into that depressive zone, I tell my psychiatrist and she increases my medication dosages and everything's good for a couple of months.

which is horrifying
