>>Man have I been a complete "female canine" lately. I have not been nice to people. I've been agitated and edgy and I've been kind of unpleasant to be around.
-- 's OK. You know it and don't particularly like it and that's waaaaaay more introspective and concerned than most "normal" (shallow) people.
>>How do I deal with the fact that I can be like this?
-- Ride it out... ? Come here and talk about it like you are/have and get support from the good people here.
>>Do you all feel ashamed and disturbed if you get like that?
-- For a minute or two, or a day or so... but then I remember what female dogs many people are just in the course of their lives and they're PROUD of it and think it's cool. And I remind myself that I am a good, loving person caught in a crappy moment (day, etc).
And if I don't remember on my own I talk with someone who will raise cain with me and remind me.
>>Even if it's partly due to a mood disorder.
-- Nope. Again, a mood disorder is a much more valid reason than just being beachy because I can.
>>What do I do with this feeling?
-- Dunno about you, but I try and use it to remind and empower me to do battle with it next time around.
>>I think I'm depressed *and* I'm deeply sad.
-- Probably. I feel very sad for you and yet I am glad for you, that you would come here and share this so we could maybe help. I hope you recover quickly.
>>Why can't I enjoy the ride on Planet X?
-- I pray that you learn how.
here, I will share my smile... :)
