Biologically speaking, it makes sense that you swing from happy to down...to the extent that you go up, that tends to be the extent you will go down..you can watch the pattern and not get as alarmed. Anti depressants tend to stabilize the swings, but not everyone reacts well to them. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/ive-had-a-bad-day#post-39491 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:59:40 +0000 Anonymous 39491@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Actually, it seems better now....It was just one of those hopeless periods, when everything seems bleak.
