I have this problem with my overall mood, and attitude towards life in general...?

Question

most days, I believe that I'm a halfway decent person, and I have faith ,and conviction for my beliefs and values....-but some days..(usually in the evening) my mood dramatically changes, and everything I thought in the good mood is totally absurd, and not at all based in reality, and I forget feeling the other way, when each mood ends (good, and bad)..I'm in counseling, and on meds..and I have BPD, whats your opinion on why this is happening?

Answer 1

The only thing I know about BPD is what my friend has.

She tells me that she goes through something like that, that she is fighting off depression all the time. And when she is having a hard time with it, she calls me, and we talk. She says that it seems to help.

She also has OCD, that has her obsessing on things, and asking herself things, that she would not do otherwise.

Just stay in therapy, and do as the Dr tells you to.

Answer 2

See if there is a BPD support group in your area within which you can talk with others about the mood swings and how to best handle them.  If you know that there is something that isnt based in reality then dont act on that impulse.

Why is it happening?  Your counsellor would be the best person to advise you on this.

Answer 3

well mainly this problem comes to sensitive people who had encountered alot of miseries in their life which affects (and causes distortion) their way of thinking and beliefs,and when ur into the bad mood u feel totally depressed, i think im into this too but i dont go to counseling cos i believe that the only remedy here is to fight it, take it as a challenge of ur life, once ur in ur negative mood, do any thing that could distract ur attention, like jogging which really helps.

Hon, you are just going to have to have lots of patience with yourself and others, it takes lots of time, love and support for this condition.

What has helped many, is a personalized study in the bible.

Please take this into consideration.

Your meds are trying to balance out your mental faculties, just like it is for my granddaughters seizures, please, give yourself time to heal.

My heart goes out to you as well as my prayers!

Answer 5

Sorry you have to live with this.

There is some interesting research on glutathione (GSH) and its relationship with mental health.

There are several dietary things you can do to boost your GSH.

It will take time though. One woman who I was treated for this at a hospital where I used to work turned out to have mercury poisoning. The doc gave her both glutathione injections and she is on the oral building blocks for several months now. She is slowly improving but she is improving.

She still has bad days.

BTW...glutathione cannot be absorbed in the gut. You can only take the building blocks. Even if you do decide to take anything other than the foods you eat, make sure and talk to your doctor or your pharmacist to make sure there will be no interactions.
