Sam I Am

I feel so weird lately. I have been on a very strange emotional high lately. For some reason I feel like there is absolutely nothing wrong in my life and that is so not the case right now. With the things that are going on I should be a complete wreck but I'm not. Should I ignore that I am feeling ok and just go with it? I want to but don't really want that to come up and bite me in the butt later. Why do I feel like I need to fight it? I guess I would compare it to laughing when you find out some really bad news. I want to feel happy, but not when it doesn't feel right to. It's just so weird.

Ordinarily I'd say if you're feeling good, why harsh your mellow? But if there seems to be a significant disjunct between how you feel and how you ought to feel, make a note of it and mention it to your doctor.

Maybe you're having a better response than I am to Sunspot 1283's beta-gamma-delta magnetic field and its x-class solar flares and radio events?....

...I've been a wreck lately. Can we trade?

I don't know.... I'd say enjoy the good feelings! Life is hard enough. Even though you have many things to worry about, that doesn't mean you have to feel awful all the time! You are allowed to have some great days here and there and to feel happy!
Also, it is often easier to work on other issues and get things done when you are in a good mood... you tend to put them off or not want to deal with them on bad days.

I would definitely mention it to your doctor, and keep a log of how you feel and the dates, etc.

But with all the things going on in the world, and in our lives, enjoy it while you can!

I always want to feel happy! U are feeling good and happy, whats wrong with it? If The Supremo wants u to be happy.......................................then be happy! Troubles and worries will be taken care of! Live the moment! Sometimes in life, when we have lots and lots of problems, we unknowingly enlarge our sense of things and get ready for even bigger troubles! This is how we grow up as an individual! Enjoy!

We all want to be happy, but if it doesn't feel right, then trust your instincts. If you know that this isn't your "normal" behavior, then definitely call your dr., as mood swings can/do accompany epilepsy and some of the meds alter the moods also. Some of the same drugs used for epilepsy are also used for bi-polar disorders, causing weird moods.

Thanks everyone. Hehe, why harsh your mellow... that made me smile. I thought about it a little more and I kind of think I have disassociated myself a little from my current situation. That is really the only way I can explain my mood. I have decided to go with it though. I have decided it is a coping mechanism that my mind has come up with to protect me from driving me mad from the stress of everything that is going on around me. I really can not deal with anything else bad. Recently I was told people wondered if I would be able to handle getting into a car accident or something like that because it would be one more crap thing on top of everything else, kind of like the straw on the camel's back. Well, instead of this camel trying to drag the straw accros the country I decided to play in it, unihitch the bail and jump in and have a party! Not sure if any of this makes sense, if not that is ok, it just proves I have gone nuts and I think I'm ok with that too.
