| 370.1 | try a little tlc and see a doctor | WMOIS::B_REINKE | If you are a dreamer, come in.. | Thu Aug 31 1989 12:47 | 6 |
| Has she been to a good doctor? A complete physical, a chance
to talk about what she is experiencing, and possibly some hormone
supliments could do wonders for her problems. The more patient
and supportive you can be the easier it will be as well.

| 370.2 | A physical, allergy check, vitamins should help | DELTAQ::WARD | Stop and taste the pizza. | Thu Aug 31 1989 14:26 | 12 |
| My wife and I went through a rough time when she was about 30 or 31.
She'd have sudden mood changes, getting very hard to live with at times, then,
the next day, would be as nice as could be.
The bottom line was that she needed to stay off sugar! When she avoided sugar
and started taking a good balance of vitamins, she stabilized very well.
She's been off the vitamins for a while, and is starting to do chocolate &
sugar again...and the problem is returning, so we're watching it carefully to
make sure she doesn't overdo it.

| Just hang in there for her. Remember that this is not any easy
time for her either. She has to live with it 24 hours a day.
Be there for her when she need you but give her time to be by
herself when she needs that. Chances are, you have been through
rough times in the past and this is just another chance to work
a problem through together. Things WILL get better.

| I don't know whether this would help in your/her case at all. I'm not
at that point yet, but I do have my moments. I've noticed that if I
just spend some time alone - reading, sleeping, driving, exploring,
shopping, whatever - when I get moody or irritable, the mood will pass.
(Or even spending time with my daughter, or going to work.) That way,
I can avoid damaging our relationship when I feel not quite happy with
everything. I've even learned how to not say anything I shouldn't when
we're together! So when
something does come up that we need to talk about, we can deal with it,
instead of just having one more issue heaped on a pile of griping.
And our self-esteem remains intact. Maybe she can find something she
enjoys doing apart from you when she gets moody, to relieve the stress
the moods put on the relationship.
Actually, reading notes is pretty therapeutic, as well.
Hang in there, she probably needs your support. Good luck!

| 370.6 | It's probably normal | SRATGA::SCARBERRY_CI | | Tue Jul 09 1991 16:25 | 20 |
| I'm not quite 30 yet, but I go thru some terrible mood changes.
I really hate it. I know when I'm mad or just plain irritable
and don't care for myself when I'm like that. I usually try to
make myself feel better so that I don't take it out on my family.
I'll take a shower and do my hair, put on a face. Wear something
that makes me feel attractive. Even if I'm just going to stay home,
this remedy usually makes a big difference. When I feel ugly, I
feel like the rest of world is looking at me and thinking I'm ugly
too. So, if I feel like I look nice, I'm usually much more pleasant
to be around with.
Sometimes, I just go through wierd moods and want my whole life
changed. Hate my job, my house, my life. That's when, I try to
get a grip on myself. I'll try to get control of the situation
in some kind of way. And then sometimes I go with my impulses.
Hopefully, they'll be fun and not to harmful. These modes don't
last too long.
I don't mind when my family tells me I'm a moody *itch neither.
At least I feel noticed. Isn't that funny?
