Feeling a bit blue today. No doubt it's these mood swings that got my wife sometimes. I can be jovial and happy one day and lightly depressed the next. It's actually a common trait with ADD/ADHD. Sometimes I get bummed just admitting I am a 41 year old man with ADD. But hey it is what it is and I have to live with it.
The other thing about my swings is I can almost predict them but I never really do. I know after such a big positive day or days I am going to have a balancing period. It's not bad by any means, I don't lash out, I don't sit and sulk, I just get a bit quiet and would rather just be by myself. But sometimes if I have too much alone time when I am in a good mood I get drug down like today. Today I am just tired of being alone, tired of not being with my family, my wife, my kids.
The other thing about me is I draw energy and get re-energized by being with people. Whereas my wife to recharge she has to be alone. She's an introvert and I am an extrovert personified. So right now I have just spend way too much time alone and need a serious boost.
