@applejacks I do believe i am slave to my moods and maybe i do need real life socialisation more and i definately want to work with a real person rather that at home behind my laptop feeling unstimulated. I did go out for a couple of hours last week. But yes i have been detaching/isolating a bit. But i think i have done that to protect people from an angry phase... so i just have these irregular mood cycles and it feels unhealthy. Maybe i focus too much on protecting others.

@InvisibleJim ah yes, i have tried many seats of many colours but i fear it may be the swing itself that is defective, replacing that would be incredibly dangerous. Maybe i need a new playground!
I highly, HIGHLY recommend getting out for some real life socialization. I worked from home without human contact for a year, and it drove me into crazy isolation. Hiding inside the house may feel like the comfortable thing to do, but I guarantee... if you get out and start using that charm and wit to make people laugh, you'll feel infinitely better! I've only spent a few minutes hanging with you, and you had me giggling!

Of course, this may not be the only issue as you suggested. There may be other thyroid related things going on, but I really think you'll feel better if you'e socializing, hanging with people. I stew too much when I'm alone for too long (which becomes a reason to stay inside, to "protect" others from our mood... but the mood's initial cause, at least for me, WAS the fact that I was isolated too long).


Oh and @Park - I certainly hope I didn't come across as nagging / bitching. If anything, I try to state observations in a way that will be received well by you all reading, but even still, I wouldn't change my husband for anything in the world. I genuinely love him as he is. But if you want to see me as Fe leading, that's cool I still identify and see myself as IEE.
