I'm awaiting consult with a Neuropsychologist and want to just bounce a few things off of the group to see if anyone else can relate.
I'm noticing a definitive cycle with my "mood swings". Ironically, they typically seem to start with a headache and then I'm off and running. I become agitated, confrontative, very VERY sad, tearful...this lasts for a few days and then I can go for a few days feeling OK (never like "myself") and then it begins all over again. During this "episode", I'm intolerant of excessive noise, can NOT deal with too many people talking at once, concentration is at an all time low and I simply withdraw.
My family has tried to be supportive, but without intervention soon, I really feel like this is going to have devastating effects on everyone around me.
I live on the East Coast and as most of you know, just dealt with the Hurricane..the pressure changes absolutely had a detrimental effect on my head!!
How do others deal with these mood changes? My primary tried me on Celexa, but I became a zombie and that's not the life I choose to lead.
I feel really helpless...and very, very lonely....there has to be a solution!!
