Eating fajita wraps with a sad lack of jalepeno peppers, and getting slightly drunk due (rather stupidly) to a little emo-ish depression.
t'day has been a decent one though so I am trying hard not to mope :)

I think moping is just a waste of time, usually
*enhuggles*
*and* I always keep a jar or two of spare jalopenos in stock, just in case

But I had forgotten at my last shop and sadly used most of a jar (last remaining stock) with a particularly lovely pizza a couple of nights ago
Edit: I think sometimes moping isn't given proper credit for the theraputic action it is, it's a last resort, but if you spend your whole time trying to just 'pull it together' it only makes the fall harder when you eventually go. Today definitely isn't one of the days to give in to such an indulgence, but sometimes I think it doesn't hurt to acknowledge that your mood is shit so you can deal with it face on and just get the fuck over it ;)

to endorse these sentiments.
Although if it goes on for longer than six months, it's probably worth seeking help.

Mostly it's just a bit of illogical mood swings that leave me wondering what exactly about my nice/productive/enjoyable or otherwise fine day has knocked me so hard, and why I can't cheer up, but I've had occasional periods of 'god, no more' and suicidal thought.
The only times I've really gone the official route I've been offered
a) drugs with no monitoring
b) therapist with an agenda, and who made me INCREDIBLY uncomfortable despite being desperate for help (and after months of waiting!)*
c) more drugs
Gotta love this country :)
*her advice when I suggested I might be able to see a different person was that I obviously just wasn't ready to get better and that I could either see her or commit myself to the local psych unit

In my line of work (pharmacist) it's frightening how many antidepressants go out, with (as you say) no monitoring. No coincidence that in poorer areas, the number of people on them increases dramatically (much like drugs for ADHD - the number of kids who are on way over the maximum recommended dose is terrifying).
It's been a while since I've had any episodes like you're describing, working out what was ultimately behind it and buggering off around the world for six months worked wonders. Even if it took me 10 years to figure it out. Everyone's different, but I realised that I had to work it out for myself.

the only bit I didn't get was the suggestion I should commit myself...but everything else rings true as a bell

Hello hugglesome lady. Did anyone vector your pic from Blackpool? If not maybe I should try again (only done one so far...)

No-one has as far as I'm aware
How you doing? *glomps*
