Sometimes I feel in a decent mood, then it can turn to bitternessIt's like I have mood swings. Anybody else have this problem?
I talk about my struggles with depression just so others know they ain't going through it alone.
I currently take meds for it. Been dealing with it for almost 10 years.
I dont' like dwelling on the past anymore...I'm more optimistic about the future now.
What helped me the most was Music! It saved my life.
I like doing coke and being productive on business and work stuff.
I honestly should just do adderall if that's the case.

I honestly haven't felt truly happy for a couple years now
I'm always angry, in a bad mood, and tense. Worst part is I want to change and be happy and I know how to do it, I just can't get the motivation to get started

Look up mindful meditation.

LOW TESTOSTERONE LINKED TO FATIGUE IN MEN

August 19, 2010 (CHICAGO) --
Via: Low testosterone linked to fatigue, mood swings and decreased sex drive in men
Mood swings, lack of energy and decreased sex drive are usually associated with women and menopause.
However, men who are going through "the change" can experience symptoms, too.
Low testosterone, or "Low T," may be happening earlier and more often than expected.
As the body ages, hormone variations are normal, but when is it time to take action in men?
Low testosterone is estimated to affect up to 5 million men and can cause a host of mental and physical symptoms.
The uncertainty is whether it is a medical condition needing treatment or something men should learn to live with.
The symptoms in Michael Andruzzi were subtle.
"Lethargic, no energy - zero," said Andruzzi.
Only in his late 30's at the time, the fit and muscular Andruzzi knew something was up.
"To go to the gym was very difficult because just very tired, and just didn't feel like going. No motivation," said Andruzzi.
Not exactly signs of something life threatening, but Andruzzi mentioned the symptoms to his urologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Blood tests were done, and Andruzzi was shocked to learn he had extremely low levels of testosterone. Low testosterone can affect men of various ages.
Urologist Robert Brannigan of Northwestern Memorial Hospital thinks low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism, is under-diagnosed.
Part of the problem he says is many men with the condition don't recognize the symptoms.
They include low energy or fatigue, weight gain, reduced muscle mass or strength, decreased sex drive and mood swings.
"Depression is actually something that closely parallels or mimics low testosterone," said Brannigan. "So we see many men who have actually been treated clinically with antidepressants when in turn their underlying problem is low testosterone."
In many ways, testosterone is what makes men men, but as the body reaches middle age, levels will slowly drop by an estimated average of 1-2 percent per year.
Many are never really bothered by the change, but others can have problems.
Researchers are still trying to understand the long term health effects of low testosterone.
A rise in cases of low testosterone has some researchers scratching their heads.
"What we found which is interesting is that younger men have a much higher chance of having low testosterone then we thought about before," said Craig Niederberger of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The reasons remain unclear, and what to do about it is also debatable - to learn to live with it or to take action.
Testosterone replacement therapy comes in many forms including patches, gels, implants and injections.
The marketing of these medications has exploded, but a recent medical journal review says treatment is questionable because it has risks and its efficacy is uncertain.
Brannigan says when taken in the prescribed doses, these treatments are generally safe and effective, but he stresses the therapy is not appropriate for all patients.
"For the patient where it's really interfering with the quality of life, I think sitting down with doc and having a discussion makes a lot of sense," said Brannigan.
Mike Andruzzi says treatment has changed his life. He has been doing testosterone replacement for a couple years now to help bring his levels to a more normal range. He says his energy level is up and so are his spirits.
"It doesn't make me feel better than the average person," said Andruzzi. "It makes me feel like the average person."
Guidelines were just revised on sex hormone treatments. The guidelines recommend against screening the general population.
The guidelines also say doctors should only make a diagnosis of low testosterone in men with consistent symptoms and signs and clear measurements of low levels.

You're not a doctor. Please stop acting like one. There are other reasons for mood swings outside of low test. Thanks in advance.
He needs an actual diagnoses. Not one from asshat on the internet who thinks he knows what's wrong with someone because he read an article. Mood Swings are a common side effect of Bipolar Disorder.

Mood Swings and Bipolar Disorder
In this article
The mood swings of bipolar disorder can be profoundly destructive.Depression can make you isolate yourself from your friends and loved ones. You may find it impossible to get out of bed, let alone keep your job. During manic periods, you may be reckless and volatile.
Picking up the pieces after a mood episode can be hard. The people you need most -- especially your friends and family -- may be angry with you or reluctant to help.
The best way to avoid these mood episodes is to get treatment forbipolar disorder. But unfortunately, periods of hypomania, mania, or depression aren't completely preventable. Even people who always take their medication and are careful with their health can still have mood swings from time to time.
That's why it's important to catch changes in your mood, energy levels, and sleeping patterns before they develop into something serious.
bipolar disorder. But over time, you might start to see patterns or signs that you're entering a period of mania or depression. Aside from a shift in your mood, look for changes in your:
Mood episodes in bipolar disorder often occur spontaneously, for no particular reasons. Sometimes, however, you may discover particular "triggers" -- situations or events that can provoke a period of mania ordepression, such as sleep deprivation, changing seasons, or crossing multiple time zones when traveling. Some people find they're more likely to become depressed or manic during stressful times at work or during holidays. Many people see seasonal patterns to their mood changes. Of course, not everyone can identify triggers. Also, some triggers can't be anticipated or avoided, like a serious illness or a traumatic event.
One good way to see patterns or triggers in your bipolar disorder is to keep a journal. Make note of big events, stresses, your medication dosage, and the amount of sleep you're getting. Over time, you might see some patterns emerge.
If you can recognize triggers for periods of mania or depression, you can prepare for times when you might be most vulnerable. Ask for more help from co-workers. Have your family and friends check in more often so you get extra support.
If you see the signs of potential trouble, get help. Don't wait for the mood episode to pass on its own. With quick intervention, you might be able to stop a very minor mood swing from becoming a serious problem.
