I have been on the computer looking for the good water filter when my mother came in to tell me that I was supposed to walk my dogs two hours ago. I didn't like the tone she has used while talking to me, so one thing led to another and I ended up throwing dog's leashes at her. I think that lack of sleep is making me loose my self-control which is scary to me as I am not a violent type of person. Does anyone has a method of dealing with mood swings caused by fatigue?
a) are you sure that it's lack of sleep that's causing it?
b) why are you not sleeping? Perhaps that needs looking at and dealing with
c) are you sure it's not hormonal rather than lack of sleep as our hormones can create drastic changes in our mood especially more so for some people than others? (or maybe the lack of sleep is effecting hormones as well?)

And to add to the above:
d) How much sugar/white flour/white bread are you eating? Sugar can cause mood swings.
e) Are you consuming enough omega oils (fish oil, evening primrose oil, flaxseed oil, etc)? They are very calming.
f) Are you eating a balanced, wholefood diet. If not, you may be short of B vitamins among other things. B vits are necessary for nerve function.
g) Do you have white marks on your finger nails. If so you may be short of zinc, in which case it could be upsetting insulin function and blood sugar levels causing mood swings and other hormonal imbalances. Zinc is involved in over 200 enzyme reactions in the body and if it is lacking things start to go awry.

Energylz:
a) I have not been sleeping very well for about a week or more so I do believe it's effecting me.
b) I am hit by insomnia on a yearly bases. It always makes me feel very irritable.
c) I am not sure if it's hormones. It might be something to do with my hypothyroid. Perhaps I need my medication adjusted.

d) My endocrinologist had told me that I have sugar sensitivity. I am doing sugar detox right not. I don't eat bread very often and when I do I make sure to eat whole wheat bread.
e) I don't take omega oil supplements.
f) I eat well balanced home cooked food.
g) I have one or two white dots on my finger nails. Not all of them just one nail.
I believe that it's weather related. It happens when the weather goes from worm to cold suddenly and back to cold again. Unfortunately I can't move to a different state, so I guess I am stuck. My doctor thinks that I might have a bi-polar disorder, but I am not convinced somehow. I guess I just didn't think he sounded that convinced when he was giving me diagnosis.

Hi Lora
May I suggest you find a registered Nutritional Therapist who could make a whole heap of difference to your life. There are all sorts of strategies that may help but you need a full consultation first so the strategy is specific to you and your symptoms. Nutritional Therapy helps sort out the basic causes of your imbalances and is based on biochemistry, so works with your body to heal itself. I am sure it will be well worth your while.

The link you gave me is in UK and I am in US. I guess I should have mentioned that before.

Ah, you didn't say - this is a UK site. So your best bet is to try here or here and ask for someone within reach of you - though you may be able to do a consultation with Skype.

I have forgotten with my new health insurance I have to go to my doctor to get a referral to a specialist. I have tried to make an appointment today, but the office was closed. I will have to wait till Tuesday to make an appointment.
You could try shamanic healing. It sounds rather like an intrusion.
That is so odd. I just noticed your reply today. It's hard with shamanic healing in US. A lot of fraud. Is there a way to find a good shaman that won't charge too much. I am on a tight budget.
I will let you know when there is something new. I can't wait for my appointment. I was told that if there is an opening for sooner I will get a phone call from doctor's office.

You're right, this seems much easier in the UK - although there are a lot of untrained people here offering shamanic healing.
I don't know how you feel about Michael Harner's Foundation for Shamanic Studies. There is a lot that could be said for and against his way of working, but at least you'd know anyone listed on the website will have had at least the Foundation's practitioner training. Have a look - here. How much they charge will be up to the individual practitioner.
For anyone wanting a practitioner in the UK, try the Core Shamanic Practitioners' Circle - here. (Be warned - there aren't many of us.) There are practitioners who aren't members of the CSPC, of course, but CSPC members have all been trained and have all agreed to abide by the code of ethics.
I just looked at the couple and they are all very expensive. I will not be able to afford it at this time as I can barely afford rent and food.I don't want to pay someone who is just out there to earn a buck or two. On the website it's clearly stated that they are not responsible for anything that is written about shaman and that means they don't verify them. Here is the exact quote from the website:

Note to those seeking shamanic healing: These listings are provided as a service to the public and as a benefit to members of the Circle of the Foundation.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I will just have to wait for my doctor appointment.

How could they? There is no governing body. All any organisation teaching shamanic healing can do is state that the people on their lists have had the training.

To have knowledge doesn't mean having understanding or talent.

I don't disagree with you. All the people on the Foundations list may or may not have undertanding or talent.But how can you ever tell? With anything, not just shamanism? I have no idea how anyone decides to come to me for healing. I guess they just take a chance.
