Feeling Guilty for My Bad Mood........by Susan

Do you think we need to feel guilty for being in a bad mood? Well, I do feel guilty. My bad moods don't usually result in my treating anyone poorly although I might bite someone's head off occasionally. I don't do that nearly as often as I used to.
I have discovered lately that if I get over tired I will soon be in a grumpy mood. Often I feel tired and don't feel like it's okay to rest. Feeling like it's not okay to stop working at whatever I'm working on, is what often causes my bad mood. Feeling like I have to take care of others even though I don't feel like it, will also bring on a bad mood.
Another thing that can cause me to be in a bad mood is being in the middle of something and having other family members interrupt me with what they believe is a more important thing for me to be doing. I have to admit that now and then just being interrupted for a short conversation can cause those bad mood feelings to start stirring inside me.
These are a few of the things that add to my feelings of guilt when I've been in a bad mood. I think the guilt stems from the old belief that whatever I'm doing, whoever I am, whatever I want, is not okay. Most of us with depression have plenty of feelings of guilt too. If we could get rid of our guilty feelings, I'm betting our depression would improve by leaps and bounds.
Thanks for reading this blog article. I guess you could say I had one of my bad moods today and just needed to rant and rave about it a little while.

While we're experiencing symptoms of depression, we work so hard to keep it together that it's not surprising that we can get cranky about seemingly trivial events. It's as though we're carrying armloads of dishes and one falls to the floor. Do we bend over to try to pick it up, risking the whole load? Do we leave it there? Do we kick it under the couch? It's a full-time job, being depressed, and there isn't much energy left over to be resilient.
