Hi Snoozy and thanks....
> > and have felt fit as a flea all day.
> You must be speaking English here! I've never heard that one before :)Indeed I am... sorry... I don't know what the American for that is! But it means feeling fit, bouncy and energetic. Hoppy and happy, maybe!
> I don't know anything about BP cycling, so this may be totally useless to you. But... 6 weeks isn't really that long, and I don't know how long this relationship lasted. I know I sometimes got sad 2 or 3 months after a breakup.
I was with him for 3 months.... which isn't long, is it? Though he did mean a lot to me, I don't have many friends locally, and rarely go out, and with him I did so much.... every weekend in fact!
> What I really relate to though, is feeling sad and crying on Saturday (Sundays too). I think it's because there's not as much of a routine on the weekend. I'm not having to hurry to get things done, keeping my mind preoccupied.
Yes i can relate to that too... although because I'm not working, one day's much like another. Except of course, my weekends aren't spent with *him* any more.
And my landlady and her partner are both around today. She's usually here, he's usually at work. Hmmm. They were both home last weekend, Friday and Saturday, and I felt weepy on both those days.
Because I've only recently embarked on meds and treatment, I guess I am too alert looking for signs and signals of various disorders. Reading too much Babble! Wondering if I might be BP (actually, I could well be, pretty sure my father is un dx'd BP). And of course, reading that SSRI's can bring on cycling in BP patients.
Of course, Effexor isn't a SSRI strictly speaking.... and.... when I was taking Prothiaden (non-SSRI) for a while some years ago, I remeber getting weeping sessions on Fridays for quite a long time after a relationship breakup. In those days I was working, and I would stand waiting for the train home crying my eyes out because I had nowhere to go, nothing to do, and no-one to do it with, for the weekend.
So yes - thanks for being a help with reminding me it's okay to get sad. But I am puzzled by the suddenness of the mood swing though. It took me by surprise. Literally one minute feeling fine, the next, overwhelmed by sadness. Strange....
:)
