Does your "disposition" change, like me?

[zanne]

One day I feel like slugging it out on this forum. Other days, like today, I want to see things from both sides. Please don't tell me it's just me. Does anybody else go through this on DU and especially in GDP?

1. They used to call it "manic-depressive," but it's got a new name.

"Borderline personality?" or was it "Bi polar Disorder?"

4. That was cruel, Texas. nt

9. I've got OCD. I can't help myself.

Aren't you sorry you didn't feel sorry for me, now?

Hey, I'm just having fun with the way terms change for the same things. Something to do with what is covered by insurance, I'm sure.

Anyway, yes, it's ups and downs as you describe. Wasn't intending to break your balls - or ovaries, if those are the gonads of your chosen lifestyle.

2. I think it depends on how many idiotic posts I have read

I try to maintain an even keel, but I do have my limits. ;)

10. Or, how many idiotic posts I've written, which has a similar effect of taking Tequila shooters

3. Yes

A lot depends upon what is happening in my "real life". Right now, I'm trying my best to help my husband who has a deteriorating medical condition that medications help for a little bit and then cease to help. Right now, things are ok, so it makes DU's wars easier to take. Other days--well, I hide out on the Astro Board then.

5. I hope your husband feels better soon, ayeshahaqqiqa.

You too.

7. Thank you

and remember, if things start getting to you, breathe. Might sound silly, but the next time you are upset, watch your breath. What is it doing? Then breathe evenly, in and out, for ten breaths and see what happens.

6. We all have those days.

If you are a Hillary supporter, it's fine. If you are an Obama supporter, you must be bi-polar.

You see how even the simplest of posts draw their ire?

It's very telling.

8. Thank you, Indie.

It's always comforting to know that as humans, we all share those feelings.
