Lost.

Watched the pilot episode on TV again last night. Looking back, i manage to catch the little nuances and expressions from the actors that seem to hint about plot secrets to come in the future episodes. Then, i realise and go "ahhhhh" in recognition.

It is almost the same deal as a relationship. When you are in it, you get caught up in all the action, the whirlwind romance, the passion, the squabbles, the stability. Thus, the saying, LOVE IS BLIND. Once you are out of the relationship, clarity sets in, and you begin to realise many of the things that were once in your "blindspot".

Now, the decision lies in whether you choose to make it part of your relationship, accept it and try to rectify it so that there may be a possibility of it ever working in the future OR you simply just walk away, realising that it may never work again.

Thus, i am still LOST.




A little snippet of research on what most people are going through:

Mood Disorder and Mood Swing Overview

Mood disorders are classified as a form of depression. Although most individuals may experience slight mood changes on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, the more advanced forms of mood disorders can develop into bipolar disorder (manic depression) and can have serious mental and physical consequences if left untreated.

Mood swings are characterized by periods, commonly referred to as episodes, of mania and depression. During an episode of mania, one may experience an abnormally elevated mood, irritability, decreased need for sleep, increased talking and racing thoughts. During episodes of depression, one may experience persistent sad and empty moods, loss of interest in activities, feelings of guilt, feelings of worthlessness and physical ailments such as headaches, chronic pain or digestive disorders.

Treating mood swings has an 80% to 90% success rate for those who seek help. However, only about one third (1/3) of individuals who have a mood disorder choose to seek treatment. As a result, over sixty percent of individuals who suffer from this potentially debilitating disorder never find relief.
