I have a problem where sometimes I am really high on life and everything seems easy to me. I am happy about everything in life, motivated about job..call friends go out and stuff. Then somedays I am the oppossite..i start to find everything wrong in my life and I really REALLY worry on what other people think of me. I dont like this as when i am 'high on life' i am more of a better person more confident and motivated about life. Why does this happen ? how can i stay 'high on life' forever ?

I wish I could give you a fairy tale answer to your last question, but that's what it would be, a fairy tale. No one, can stay high on life forever. Everyone has problems, and down days. Could you give me a little more detail, how long do you stay "high" on life, and how long do the down times last? That's something I need to know and it's an important question, if you could answer that question for me, I believe we could find an answer for you that would help you. I think you sound like a great person, so these down times, does something in particular bring them on, are you on any medication that might cause the down times to start, and how stressful is life for you? Please write back, and I'll do everything I can to help. The world needs more people like you. I'll be waiting for your reply. Take Care Brenda Sue

Thanks for your reply

My highs and lows change frequency is about a week. I think my main problem is that I dont feel loved by my girlfriend so what i have recently decided to do is to not maker her the centre of my life but more of a back drop. I think that may help

If you feel you have found a way to balance out the highs and lows, well that's great. However, if something were to happen where you felt you needed help, well you know where I am. Take care, and I hope this works out alright with you. Please, even if you think that I gave you a bad answer would you please rate my question. It's the only way the askme.com site has of knowing whether I am helping others or not. Thanks. I hope all goes well. Brenda Sue
