View Full Version : Good mood. Too abstract to explain why!

I got out of bed this afternoon feeling pretty grouchy 'cause I've got to go into town and look for a job and clean up a bunch of stuff blah blah.

Then...I was pouring myself a drink of water and suddenly I was in a really good mood! This seems to happen every now and then; my mood will suddenly change from bad to good. It's not random; when my mood changes it's 'cause I've suddenly realised something. Everytime it's the same or a similar thing I realise. However, the thing that I realise is too abstract to put into words : S It's something to do with realising something about myself, that's as far as I can explain it though!

Anyone else have any idea what I'm on about?

Maybe. The other day I went to see my ADHD coach and was feeling very bad since I had had just brain fog for five days. I was just going on and on about how bad it was. Then she remarqued that a way to get going is to eat dessert first not last. My spontaneous answer: Is that allowed? She: You are from the dessert generation, arenīt you?

And wham! While laughing about that, a new mood kicked as quick as a lightening. It kept me energized for a couple of hours until I crashed on the sofa and slept like a log for three hours. This sudden shift in my imagination- that was both funny and visual- turned on a light bulb. I have noticed this before that unexpected paradoxical or absurd humour can change my mood in less than seconds.
