mood swings


Question Posted Monday August 28 2006, 10:39 pm

15/f;; my bf has awful mood swings [16/m]. ive been talkin to him since i got home from school so basically about 5 hours [this is normal haha] anyway he was totally fine and then like in the last hour he got super quiet and was just giving short little answers to questions -- mm hm. no. yeah. k. -- we didnt argue or anything, he jus kinda shifted moods. he does this a good bit. a lot of the time, hes not in a good mood when he comes home from work [he works at least 6 hours a day 5 days a week] so i try to cheer him up then, but he didnt even work today. he knows he can tell me anything and that ill be there for him nmw, but whenever i ask him whats wrong he always says 'nothing', when somethin clearly is botherin him. im a gerenally mellow happy optimistic person and do my best to cheer ppl up, and he says that i make him happy since im like that, but when he gets like that i really have no idea what to say to him. i have like no words of encouragement or anything. do yall kno anything i can say to help cheer him up?? i hate feeling helpless!! thx <3

ok well the problem could be that he is tired and needs more sleep you could just tell him to get more sleep since he is working and school and then coming home and talking to you thats is prolly what it is so just tell him to get more sleep instead of talking to him after school ok so i hoped i helped and you can ask me any questions and i'm really sorry if i didnt help

Yeah, I've been in that situation before. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do. People just tend to get depressed at times, probably just like you do, and he just might need some time alone and not to be talking to anybody [ which may be why he's not talking to you that much ] and he knows you're there for him and everything, but sometimes nothing can cheer people up. Maybe he is also suffering from depression, maybe? Maybe he can try talking to a psychiartist or a guidance counselor if he feels depressed alot of the time. But, you say he's happy and optimistic, so that might not be the problem. Just let him know that whenever he's ready to talk and if he ever does want to talk about why he's sad, just to give you a call or an IM or something. I hope I helped. <3

Sometimes there isn't really anything you can do. Of course there are little things you can say and everything, but if it doesn't fix the main problem, he will only temporarily be happy. It's also possible that he has depression. Does he see a pyschologist? It's not that rare to have depression. If he were to have it, he would not be able to control the feeling of sadness that he has. So, he wouldn't be able to help the fact that he is in this state of mind. But even if that's what he has, there are options. There are medications and such that would be available to him from his doctor. If he doesn't have depression, he could still be depressed. Sometimes people have depressive moments in life but it just isn't permenant. He could be feeling so stressed that it is fueling his sadness. Just offer him suggestions and see what he decideds to do about it. It is up to him to try to make a change and help himself.
