Support and mood control |
Hi everyone . Im new to the group so I am not familiar with most
things. since I was diagnosed I went to a support group once . I liked
the group although I was the only black person there. It seemed to make
sense. I didnt go back as It was a distance from where I stay even
though I could walk I'd be home latee and it would be dark. So mainly
my problem is I would like to control my mood. I started a new job an
dit is important that people do not get to see my bad mood swings. It
is difficult to make new frients . Actually about a month ago I met a
girl when I was going to write an exam and we started charting. I
offered my numbers and we went for a movie once. we talk by emails and
she calls but I do not call her as much as she has called me. She is
staying in a surburb and I am renting a room. I dont know what to do
anymore. I havent had sucidal thoughts more than 2 years I think and
believe my medications whicc Im taking well are working. Im on
Lamtrigine and Lithiun carbonate. I only get moderate headaches
sometimes. Can you tell me what you think? Regards.

you clearly have an issue with your colour?....first post and the first
thing you tell us is your black!
how can you expect people to feel good about you if you dont feel
comfortable with who/what you are?
how on earth can you tell if someone in cyber space is
black,white,brown,yellow,PURPLE or any other shade is beyond me.
oh well for what its worth, "welcome to the mother fucker group man,you
dig dude?"

this from a purple individual?
he is black and may have been made to feel the need to apologize for
that. i'm very white (one guy refused to date me because i was TOO
white) but i can empathize with that.
and we may need to know that to understand things from his perspective
because like it or not his experiences would be colored by his color.
i've worn glasses since the age of 8, when i wore contact lens, i felt i
wasn't being honest because this wasn't how i really looked. by taking
off my glasses i was wearing a mask. i felt the need to apologize for
trying to deceive people. so i can understand his need to explain
himself.
he's black, i'm ugly, you're purple; welcome to our world. in asd, it's
all black & white. and red and if you are using Agent, you can come in
colors.

well come, Choma.
i don't have mood swings but in my search to end my depression, i have
learned a few things. i don't know if it would apply in your case but
it's worth a thought.
food can effect moods, it does with me; what/when i eat because low
blood sugar is a factor in my depression.
i was able to hide my depression when working by having two
personalities, the public one and the private one. the public one which
i wore on the other side of my front door was able to deal with the
outside world. i recognized the fact that i HAD to because i was the
only support of Me. when i got home and closed the door then i could
allow the depression to take over. i didn't answer the door (nobody
knocked anyway); i didn't answer the phone (nobody called anyway). i
didn't have to pretend, i didn't have to anything.
i understand about meeting people but i had to wait until i was ready.
if you don't want to lose contact with this person, make the effort. if
you don't she'll fade away. do you want her to go or do you want to
chance it?
<~> good luck, Choma.
