The previous question was: Can you do
something about your mood swings? I believe you can. Your usual ways seem not
to be working. You try to ignore the feeling or you resist it. You might try to
replace it with something else. Do you succeed? Hardly. Could a possible way be
“acceptance”? You acknowledge the feeling of sadness, of dissatisfaction,
without identifying with it: this is the trick. Accept that it is there BUT,
rather than saying “I AM depressed”, say “Right now I am experiencing this
feeling of depression.” Then add: “But it will pass.” Magic words? Not really,
but they might help, provided you persist in re-programming your belief in your power to change
“stuff” (thoughts, convictions, pre-conceived ideas, feelings…), which –
believe it or not – you actually possess.
