I have lost my mood again. And I can't seem to find it. I know some of you may have noticed that I have not been very active for the past few days. It's not that I have been very super busy but I just don't have the mood to respond or comment to any discussions. I tried but I could just stare at the screen and not knowing what to write. Help!!! I want my mood back. What should I do to make it come back?

Take a break or drink loads lol. I only get here at the weekends now but the last few weekends I have not had the time to be on here much. I do know what you mean if I come on here and I don't see anyone I know it can be disheartening. Maybe this discussion will get you in the mood when it snowballs

Hi Jlyn! It happens to us all at some tim eor other. You will get the right feeling back when you least expect it. I just went through a dark moment when I couldn't bring myslef to respond or comment or join in the fun either but now gradually I am back, day by day. The same thing will happen to you too

Hi Miss Hatley I am a "her", as you can see that my avatar is Wonder Woman. Starting this discussion sure is the right thing to do. I am starting to feel that my mood is slowly coming back.

I have absolutely no idea what you can do to get your mood back. I have gone through that from time to time as well, and talking with friends and not trying to push it but just responding to whatever catches my interest (if anything does) usually works eventually. If that does not work for you, then I suggest going with Zone's recommendation.

Yup ... either the drinkable ones or the white ones that you make in Winter and throw at each other. I did read what the drinkable ones are made from, and they sound really good, although I think that I would probably forgo the lemonade in mine.

Hello Jlyn, I haven't been very active lately either. But I've been busy enjoying my vacation, that's why I wasn't here too much time. And now I'm back with the proper "mood". What if you do something similar? Take a short vacation, go visit some places that you love and see if you found your mood after this.

Hi sis! Since there is no more math questions from carmelaniral, I never saw you back then...So you are back from your vacation?? How's your vacation??(^^)

No, the "proper" return wasn't back then, Suny. I don't remember if I said I am sorry you have to wait for me until 2am. If I don't, I say now. It was still vacation for me back then and I had to go to sleep earlier to be fit for another hike the other day. How come your children are having school, Jlyn? Here the school doesn't start until September the 15th. CT, I started my vacation when Carmelanirel was still fighting the math problems. I felt like I abandoned her but I'm not sure I helped too much, either. The vacation was great, I don't remember when I have such a full vacation like this one. I only wish it didn't end so soon...

Hi inu Glad to hear that you have been away for a vacation. I bet it was an enjoyable trip for you. It's not the right time for me to go for a vacation at this time as my kids are having school right now. The only time for vacation would be year end during school holidays.

It does happens to me at times too. Well, what I do is to just sleep it out. I am thinking that my brain isn't functioning that well so I figure to just rest it out until it goes back to normal again. If still you don't have the mood back, maybe try going back to myLot after your menstruation cycle? Mood swings can be due to that, maybe.

Haha! AG, you seem to know girls very well. No, I doubt it's that reason, my dear. Maybe I'm just the type that gets lost when dealing with words. Can't seem to write lately as nothing comes to mind. That's why, I thought I'd try to get my mood back by starting a discussion. Hope it works, which I think it has done some good for me already.

Oh sorry, I thought it might just be the reason. Well, at least now I guess that you are back in the mood for talking in here. Many myLotters will support you out in here to bring you some ideas on what to comment on, respond and discuss. Then the simple cycle of natural discussion flow will come back right through you. @CTHanum So Jlyn says it is not the case about her mood swing. Maybe we can try to monitor further next week if she post back actively again in here or not. If she does not then we hit her period cycle. What do you think of this? I might get punched by Jlyn if she figures out I am spying on her trying to figure out her menstrual cycle! Haha! Just playing around in here!

I lost my mood yesterday, hence the late reply to your post. I found it this dqay after returning from the therapy. Jlyn, no need to worry about this the moods seem to have a mind of their own these days, must be due to Global Warming. But they always seem to find their way back when we really need them. I also noticed something while reading the other posts here, someone of our friends has a new red star. The lamb is watching also I bet.

The mood is fickle, it kinda comes and goes. I guess we just have to jump and take advantage when it is around. PA, your box was kinda crowded so I skipped on by figuring on coming back today and finishing what you started.

Hey Manley, if you read the other responses on this discussion, then why didn't you drop into our boxes to say "hi"? By the way, did your "therapy" perhaps involve the intake of moonshine to improve your mood?

I guess I'm not the only one suffering from this mood swing after all. You've got yours back already? I'm not so worried now as all my friends have given me some very good advice. Anyway, how was the therapy session. Hope all went well. Yup, I did notice the red star. But I don't see the lamb anywhere. Probably with its shepherd.

Hi Jlyn, it is pity to hear that you had lost your mood to do posting in here. I remembered a few years ago i do had this type of mood when i was too bust with my offline matters. As for you, i am not sure what's your problem. But, i am sure you will be able to get back your mood after watching some Mr.Bean films. I am sure his funny jokes and attitudes, will surely makes you laughing and alive as well. And i am sure your good mood will start to fly back to you as well. Hope you have a nice day, friend...

Yup, i do likes to watch Korean comedies as well. They are very funny, too. Just hope Jlyn will be back here soon, to make this discussion alive. Suny, how are you so sure about it? You had been spying on her? Why account showing eligible makes a person gone vacation from Mylot? Really confusing....

Hey dear Jlyn I wonder whether that party and invite from suny praaji is responsible for this... I knew that trip to Haridwar would be quite tiring and something not that kind of parties that you should be attending... I still have that beach offer open. Okay, seriously, why are you so upset dear? I think you need some time to be offline, chill out with friends and hang out at some discos... Are you over worked these days online? Take Care

Of course, I would stay at the entrance to keep a watch on how or better what kind of people get in... and that would also allow me to find one for me... praaji already seems to be upset that I am eying his girls Better, I eye on them before he gets to find one at this party For your mood, I know life at times become sick and dull as we all follow almost the same daily routines. Maybe a small change in that would do wonders for your mood. Take Care dear. And my waist size is merely 30... hope I find some good costumes for the party.

Hi thesids Suny's party didn't turn out so exciting after all. He wants us to go underground with him. Who wants to? I would feel like being locked up in a dungeon. Nah, boring party, I would say! I think the beach would be fun. Seriously, there are not many discos left here. Anyway, I'm too old for discos, haha! I also don't know what is upsetting me. Maybe I am bored with online activities. Or could be too many things in my head and the brain (not system) crashed. Anyway, are you coming to the guys-wearing-skirts-with-girls' talk party? It should be fun. We still have lots of spare skirts available, all free size which I think will fit your perfectly.

Hello Jlyn, it happens to almost all of us at different times. To make a come back, we need not do anything new. Just accept the present situation as normal. Focus on the thing that attracts you now. Soon you will fine a joyful mood in that activity, that time, just turn this side and you will do active participation here also as you are already in a joyful mood. Hope to get back from you on my views

Hi mouli So, you've found me. Glad to see you in my discussion. I've sent you a friend request, so we can be friends now. Thank you for the advice but I wasn't able to focus on the thing that attracts me at that moment as my mind was totally blank. I guess you could say that I am almost completely regaining my mood back. At least, I managed to start discussions after so long.

That happens to me a lot too. At times I just don't want to mylot anymore or can't even if I want to. Anyway today doesn't seem to be one of those days co I am enjoying a lot here today after being absent for couple of days coz my internet got busted. Maybe all you need is sometime away from mylot. take a day off from mylot and come the next day. Maybe you'll feel more like being here once you are away. Well atleast that works for me

@thatgirl Yea, sometimes it's very difficult. No matter how much we want to, but the mood just can't seem to come. I did try to go on other sites, even Facebook, but I also don't have the mood for games either. I'm glad that I started this discussion, at least my mood is slowly making a come back. @Hatley That's really nice. I love to play bingo too but pity we don't have that kind of game here anymore as the government does not allow this game being played here except only in the casino at Genting Highlands. I hope you will win some money next time.

Seems you have gained a fair portion of that mood by now. That's great!! For I really hadn't much to suggest. I came only to nick some tips and maybe I should sorry for that stealing act. Thankfully I got some clues. I will follow Ms. Hatley and spread some junk here and there :P but unfortunately, I can't come to that skirt party. I am headed somewhere else...

Aawww, why won't you come to that skirt party? That's too bad. It's going to be really fun. Don't worry, there'll be more party in the future. Have a safe trip to ... somewhere.

I think most people go through this experience. I know that I do myself. It is very difficult to force yourself to become positive and enthusiastic when the feeling has gone. As a Zen practitioner, I go with the flow. Nothing is permanent, whether it be a good mood or a bad mood. If we resist it though, and try to force things to happen, it can make it more diffictult. Always best to feel whatever feelings you have at the time, and just wait for them to change, as they surely will. _Derek

The thing is to make a new mood when you lose the old one. Just go out and have fun! Take a long walk, get drenched in rain, meet old friends or simply help someone. The rush of wellness will get into a good mood. Just do it in a clean and healthy way!
