depression and the moon
11 Answers
I suffer from depression and anxiety,I dont take antidepressants at all,instead when I have a mood swing I try and get myself out of sitting doing nothing and do something,or play different music,but I have noticed 2 days before a full moon I get very edgy and snappy and cant be bothered with anything,and night of the full moon I am just not interested and cant make clear decisions about anything and still very much on edge.I dont understand the moon etc,but I have taken note of when the moods are worse without being aware of the moon until after

I have noticed that anxiety is often worse at the full moon & depression at the new moon. I could hit somebody (well I wouldn't do it really, but you know what I mean) at the moment I'm so wound up. There's just been a lunar eclipse too so heaven knows how that's going to affect us sensitive types!
Moog, I have to disagree. My ex boss (male) used to become so depressed and uptight at each full moon that his wife and kids would stay with relatives until he felt better. He was diagnosed as a proper "Lunatic" not a nutter but as the other post says,its to do with the "Lunar" cycle. And NO he was'nt a werewolf,he was a loving family man.
Id like to thankyou dolphinkake for printing your question,I realy wanted to ask the same thing but was worried everyone would think i was mad,Me and my mum suffer too especially this week we both wounderd if it was because of the full moon but we werent totally convinced now having read all the replys i no it has been cos of the full moon thankyou all and now i no were not completely mad.
