Title: Mopey
Post by: Jennifer.L on November 14, 2013, 05:34:50 PM
I'm feeling mopey today, and I don't know why.  I don't really have a reason to feel so down either.  I'm getting ready for the name change and I'm on track to buy implants.  I get payed tomorrow.  and I have a date with a girl I want to date.  Is it jsut that time of year agian?  when I work it's 3 weeks of 12 hour night shifts so I don't see the sun and don't feel all tiered, but I've been home a few days and dame day light savings sucks.    How are you girls feeling?

ya?  I love working nights but I'd rather not feel crappy after.  Heck I even tried snuggling my bunnies.  But even jacks ultra soft fuzzy-butt was no good!

Feeling you on the mopeyness is how I'm feeling :)

The daylight savings change is no joke. It really screws people up :( I've signed every petition I can find to have it stopped like it was in AZ.

It affects me so much it's almost like fighting a mini depression. I know I'm not alone either. I live with a bunch of people and a lot of them are feeling the same way.

Before HRT I suffered from an almost constant depression that got clearly worse during the dark half of the year, and the depression kept all actual emotions away. But now when the depression is gone I finally have my emotions back again. Of course, that also means that the deepened depression I used to feel instead had turned into sadness. And since I take my hormones every 7 hours, there's a 9 hour gap over night, which is enough for me to wake up crying most days.
A couple of months ago I felt good all day, even when I was taking all of my hormones once every 24 hours, so it really seems like the darkness makes things worse.
During the first hour after waking up, my mind can really find strange paths to the worst thoughts it can find.

Friend posts baby photo on Facebook -> awww, babieeeeees -> I don't have a baby -> I'll never be able to have a baby -> I'll never find a girlfriend -> I'm gonna die alone -> an hour of crying.
Perfectly logical train of thought :)

Hehehehe no, just more proof you're a woman hehe.

We are irrational creatures prone to mood swings and we get mopey.

Well maybe that is a bit sexist, who cares, enjoy it, the men can't hehe.

Sucks to be a man and have to suck it up and man up.

When I am moody I am allowed to cry and go eat chocolate.
