Unfortunately many of us have problems, some are temporary while others are deeply rooted problems. I feel love helps soothe them, those wounds and insecurities we all have. Well I think most of us need love and support, understanding to feel good. It's comforting to know we are loved and important to others, that we matter. Without that we are unsettled, vulnerable, lonely. I am so thankful I found my love at long last. Hopefully everyone else finds theirs and become better and stronger people for it.
ClearlyStated: Moodiness is your unsettled internal issues that should not be displayed on a self for others to look at.
This is so true.....
Would you have me look at you with a fake smile? Would you see me or abolish me? Could you look at me and see the pain I am living in? Will you look into my eyes and acknowledge a life you have seen? 2U!
Jeeepers: What about people who suffer from Medical conditions which cause mood swings, such as manic depressive people, or bipolar disorder ?
They are called medical conditions because it is a treatable disorder. Bipolar or unipolar are both treatable with medication. There is no need for the world to see your misery - unless you can't help it - like the Tsumani/Earthquake in Japan.

Thats not strictly true.. People who suffer from depression or bipolar have up days and down days the same as the rest of the world.. Having medication does not make it magically disappear unfortunately..

Let love prevail among us
Thank you for your comment - glad to see you have found what makes you smile. You are correct, deeply rooted problems are more common then most would think. People with such issues are out with a vengeance and its very sad for most that have to bear the wounds of their strike.

Medication - if given the proper dose and taken regularly as it should will alleviate the misery and deep tension within. Hence make the life of the person a better place to reside and make the people around that person less tense.

So magic medicine?
It is true that medication can help with these problems but no it does not necessarily make it disappear or fix the issue.
A person who suffers from depression can still suffer from depression on medication.

ClearlyStated: No one is shaming you for being schizophrenic - it is a disorder that is treatable and will allow you to alleviate the suffering within yourself. If you feel like the world is against you because of your disorder - you are incorrect. I'm not telling you to hide it - I'm telling you to face it and work with it.
Unfortunately, many people dealing with mental illness still feel the sting of societal judgment, stigma and shame and to say they're not is naive-it's a fact of life.
It is common for someone with mental illness to feel misunderstood and as if the world is "against" them because others will judge and without properly understanding the condition a person has, many think it is something the person should just 'get over.'
However, anyone with any experience dealing with mental illness either on a personal level or through a friend or family member knows, medication is only a SMALL part of treating the condition, psychotherapy and other protocols are sometimes necessary.
It can take years to stabilize someone with mental illness and if the person does not respond to one medication, the regimen needs to be adjusted or changed entirely. It is not as simple as "oh take a pill and you'll feel better."
People dealing with a mental illness deserve compassion and understanding and shouldn't be treated with judging looks or disdain. Mental illness is a condition or disorder just like say asthma or diabetes, it requires proper treatment and while some are fortunate enough to find the therapies and medications that work---many are not so lucky.
People should not take mental illness lightly and nobody feels it more than the person suffering from it. It's hell on earth for someone caught up in the throes of depression, Schizophrenia or some other type of mental illness and nobody should just assume it's as simple as dealing with a mood swing or two..it's much more than that.
