Jangly Nerves

After a week of awful depression, I've had a great two or three days -- feeling really good. Today, I still feel okay, but my nerves are all "jangly" -- irritable, wanting to snap at people, just feeling on edge. Does anyone else have edgy mania or moods follow right on the heels of really up moods?

It's a curmudgeonly conundrum.

Jangly - it sounds glamorous...like Jim'll fix it jewelry

I know what you mean though - I feel edgy - like I can't stay in one place...I had some crisis team come round last week following a short spell in hospital (don't worry I'm not a witch) and I asked them if they wanted to see me do a double cartwheel. I then agreed that perhaps I was slightly hyper. That was fun hyper though - the edgy stuff is not at all nice. Hope it improves soon x

My moods are kinda the same way. I start in a low depression , then into a wonderfuly high mania, then into agitation, then usually back down into depression. When I'm under alot of stress I get VERY agitated too.

The dark nights usher in the time of apprehensiveness for me.
I start to doubt my life, my future and my abilities.Also the present looks shit.
Sort of

Oh great -- I hope agitation doesn't mean more depression is around the bend. I wish I could live in a constant state of good mania. Oh, well, one foot after the other...

Oh I hate the agitation. So does everyone around me when I get it, cos they get it! hahah.

No, yes, I go down, then agitated then I shoot up, then come down again. Then I go really down. Then the fun starts all over again. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yes, all the time. It can happen daily for me. Often, if I am really up one day I can predict (w/almost certainty) that I'll be pretty far down the next - and vice-versa. Sounds a little like rapid cycling. Have you mentioned it to pdoc?

I am going thru something like this right now! I was really depressed about 2 months ago, following a really up period. Then recently (past 2 weeks or so) I'm UP again but today I feel depressed and suicidal again but yes, VERY jangly nerved, irritable..I got into a nasty exchange with the man behind me at Dunkin Donuts today cuz he was being an Ass and I'm just sick of rude people!!

I can't wait to read all the replies!! Thanx for the post!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
