I have been very moody lately.. well more like the last 3/4 months, but it's been occuring frequently now, almost every day. Sometimes I just want to cry because something soo very little happened. Other times it's like when someone says something like a small spark, a huge flame erupts from me & I get all p/oed.. & yet other times, someone'll say one little thing and it sets me off/hits a nerve and I start to ignore them & get in a bad mood for a while! I can't stand this. I'm wondering what pills I could take to settle my mood & to basically make me happy and bubbly 24/7, because I used to be like that! Yeah, I've heard of that Pamprin pill or whatever, but I need one for all the time, not just my period. Please help! thanks

I had to answer your question because I hate to hear when someone thinks they can solve their 'moodiness' or 'unhappiness' with a pill.
You are not thinking clearly; and you want to add to that confusion?
Think of your body and brain as a car and its engine. The engine needs clean fuel or it will misfire. When you first buy the car, you can put any grade in the tank, and the engine would run like a brand new baby. But after 10-15 years, maybe even 20-30, depending on the type of car, the engine is unable to process the various types of fuels any longer. In fact, all these years you should have been putting one specific type in the car.
This is what happens to our bodies, and our brains misfire as a result. If you are eating the wrong fuels, your brain is misfiring and causing you problems. This was not a problem for you before, but your body is no longer able to tolerate the incompatible foods you are eating.
Try this for a month and see if it helps level out those moods, and stabilize your thinking. You have already spent 3/4 months in bad moods now.
What do you have to lose?
Lets try something different, shall we?
First, eat only foods that are compatible with your Blood type. This may mean that you have to go to your doctor and get a blood test to figure out what type you are, if you do not know it already. Donating blood is a great way to find out your type for free.
This also means no junk food, and also reading labels all the time. No corn, or corn products like corn syrup, no pork, no tomato or tomato products, and no chicken. The first five signs that you have eaten something that is not good for you are; gas, heartburn, headaches, sleepiness, and mood swings.
Here is a site that will give you some information on the foods that act as medicine for you and foods that act as poison.
Next, get yourself on a scheduled routine everyday. Break your day into 1 hour slots and keep yourself busy. Leave time for research too. You need to educate yourself daily.
You are angry at something. So upset over something. You may not even know what it is right now. You just know that fundamentally, something is wrong with your life and you cannot identify it at this time.
It is not you, trust me, it is not and never has been you. You are right, something is wrong.
While on your one month experiment, take in your daily news through independent sources. Leave the TV off and do not listen to anything that comes from the major news and media networks!
It is background noise that turns into a weight that bears on your conscience all too easily. The reason you feel that something is wrong, is because there is something wrong. BUT NOT WITH YOU.
I am here for you anytime you need me.
You need not feel to distant from others. I have taken the pills that were supposed to level out my moods. All of the chemicals failed.
I found happiness in the truth, and I know now that it is not me. It is the system that has been forced on us since birth.
Trauma answered Monday June 14 2010, 12:26 am: This probably isn't the advice you're looking for, but you should not self-medicate in situations like this. In my opinion, pills should be a last resort for emotional problems. If you take medication for it, eventually it'll take more and more for you to get the same effect, and there's always the possibility of getting dependent on the pills, which is not good. Have you considered possibly seeing a therapist? They're trained to help, and they can definitely help you with your mood and anger. If that doesn't work, and you really feel the need for medication, you should see a doctor. They can advise you on whether or not medication is the best step, and what type of medication you should be on. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
