Anyone else feel off/not like themselves lately?

This topic was created in the Aries forum by SyntheticAnesthetic on Sunday, May 6, 2012 and has 33 replies.

Understanding Sudden Changes in Mood and Behavior

Feeling off or different can be linked to astrological factors like planetary transits affecting your emotional state and energy levels. It is common to experience shifts that impact your confidence, libido, and mood. Consulting your natal chart can provide insights into these changes and help you understand underlying influences.

I don't know what's up with me lately, but I am not feeling like myself.

I've been more reserved, hiding my feelings, a lot more scared to say things or act on impulse.
I also have ZERO sex drive. I don't feel like "me" at all, I was curious if I was the only one, or there was something going on?

I don't like it. I'm usually all silly, and fun and easy-going. Right now I feel like I'm just kind of a scared zombie.

I also went through it... Sex drive is still low and I'm still feeling very virgo'ish! Not going out and socializing like I love to... I am getting more active with exercise tho!
I also miss being as horny as I was like in August last year! Wow! I was insatiable! I love that!
Now... If I feel the urge once a fortnight it's a lot!
Also quieter than I normally am. I seem to be coming to life again and developing a personality with it! So that's good!

This is me too!!!!

I can relate 100% . I have this I don't want to be bothered feeling lately. I want to do me and only me. Sex drive has been way down. It's a feeling of don't touch me, look at me, and please don't mess with me. Not interested in any bullshit and definitely just been going off the deep end. I thought it was just PMS, but I am realizing that I just don't want to be bothered.

I think the people around me can tell too because they have been staying clear away from me.
I feel like I just need some me time. Hopefully whatever is going on will pass soon because I miss my happy-go-lucky self.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Today I feel really depressed as well. Like bottom of the barrel kinda disparity.
I'm NEVER like this, I know I can be moody but it goes away, this hasn't.

I just want to be fine again, I really feel like someone else. When is this supposed to end, does anyone know? I hope it's some planetary aspect and not the beginning of a real depression.

Strange you mention depression. I've just gone back onto my anti depressants, like a week ago!

Hello. Everyday feels like an off day lately.

What in the world is going on? This is nuts!
Aries are supposed to be fiery and fun and WOOHOO all the time, which I usually am. I feel like I've lost my spark. I'm a timid little child as of late.

I really hope so! I just want to get out of this weird funk. It's making me too icky

I think it is a good idea to start visualizing what future we really want for ourselves.... So think, May 20, I step off into a new dimension. And just smile knowing the future is going to be bright. 🙂

I agree, I've been trying to use the power of positive thinking and trying to convince myself I deserve great and wonderful things happen to me. I want it to be true. I will keep trying.

Mine is too! But I have been getting a lot more exercise lately and have shed some puff, so have been feeling a lot more comfortable in my body. Also, it seems the more exercise I do, the higher my sex drive! All in all, I'm feeling way more like myself lately. It's good to be back. I'm not completely done tho! But a hell of a lot better than six months ago!

Wow this is completely crazy that I stumbled upon this thread. I have been in the absolute most anti social mood going on about a month now. Clear out of no where I completely withdrew from hanging with friends it's just I didnt wanna be bothered with anyone. The thought of going out with friends made me pick out all their small annoying qualities and magnify them times a million....or am I just being a 13itch?! Lolol There's a fine line between being a moody Aries & just being a straight up 13itch. The funny part is I only had patience to talk/hang with very select people since I've been in this weird funk. I really thought it was just me & I just can't believe I found this thread. Thank you to all for making me feel a little less crazy!!! :-)

I must admit I have been quite unlike my normal self pretty much this whole year.

Super vulnerable all the time, can't shut my mind off, haven't felt like going out either, but also been feeling just very isolated, alone and sad allllll the time. Doesn't help that my Mother was in the hospital over Christmas and many times earlier this year with cancer, Dad had some health issues. Finished school and back at home now but haven't lived home in so long and don't have friends here anymore so even if I wanted to hang out there are very few people to do that with.

The year before last and Last year were non-stop excitement and everything was amazing - graduated undergrad, lived in new york summer of 2010, moved down to savannah for school til the end of 2010. lived in hong kong for the first quarter of 2011, made an amazing friend there and also returned to savannah with me (not to mention a Leo) whom If i wasn't talking to him on the phone or online - i was physically with him - we rarely ever talk anymore and I miss him more then any friend that I've ever lost or drifted from; had a ton of friends back in savannah that I was with all the time, graduated grad school, spent time in california for 4th of july, time in new york for halloween, had a great new years.

Ive been taking more classes at school in atlanta until I get a job. I am physically present, but mentally gone - deep in my thoughts - super stoic but ready to cry at any minute - every day. The only highlight of this entire year - almost at 8 months now - was the one week I spent in NYC in March for interviews, a wedding and to visit the leo friend whom I had dinner with - other then that, it's pretty much a miserable year.

2 months later and I still feel off, I don't like it

this is it... youve dried up, nearing your sexpause, shytie attitude doesn't help at all.. to feel like one's self again i prescribe you cock, twice a day every day during a week, for dryness use lube, for shytie attitude - alcohol. In two weeks you will be good as new, you just forgot what its like to be pleasured.

KOA, you are a freaking trip.

LMAO!!! WTF ??_..I love it, hehe.

I remember a Scorp. friend suggesting the same thing a while back, lol. He was like please do me a favor and fuck something and do it quick, because I was driving him nuts at the time. I think I was driving everyone nuts. I was so freaking mad when he said it, but I took his advice and yep I was back to normal. Happy as happy can be.

It's really hard to take you seriously when you communicate like a retard.

And newsflash- 34 isn't that old. It's a woman's sexual prime. 🙂

HA! I have sex a few times a week, and for hours. My problem is I can't get off, I can't even get close.
I haven't even thought about sex (if I'm not with that person) for months, haven't watched or felt the urge to watch anything erotic, and have not even had a sexual fantasy since maybe March.

I don't know if it's a mental thing, or just some weird period I'm going through, but either way it's annoying and I've never felt this way before, EVER.

I'm not old, I do nothing that considers me the age of 34, hell I even look 10+ years younger.

O man thats how i feel. I can seriously cry at the drop of a hat, I just dont feel like myself. I have plenty friends and fam but Even when i hang with them i need alot of time to recharge after. I really feel like im in a rut. I havent barely gone on any dates and the guys that I do like have all rejected me somehow its been sucky but I have hope that there is a meaning for the pain I have felt, idk maybe I just need to be stronger and more resilient. But the way I have been feeling I wish it on no one.

Hey blkbella do you exercise?

I find that exercising helps me and maybe it will work for you. I've been doing strength training. I am already thin so I really don't want to lose weight but gain muscle mass. I've also spent more time in nature and just talking to random people, lol. I am also going to start roller-skating again...Not rollerblading. I'm doing a throw back, hehe.

So maybe you need to connect with nature a bit more. Just my two cents.

Wait so the old person is what you identified as you and these new feelings are not I say its just another side of you. Like when people say he/she is showing his true side to me that's just another part of him/her. Technially my name is Skittle and i'm a rainbow.

I'm so flattered you think about me! I think about you too sometimes...
I'm good... Still just hibernating through winter and working out like a psycho. Started running. On a treadmill, not road... It's too dangerous for a single woman to go running alone one the dark in south Africa. Spring is only a month away and then I will be in my element! Can't wait for warm weather again!
How's your stuff??

Anyone else feeling pretty aggressive lately and mouthing off at authorites?? In the last week, I have told my boss off, I told a cop to get stitched after she said she was going to have to arrest me for not having my drivers license with me (miraculously escaped that one without even a fine!), and hissed out words in an email to a newspaper journo who surveyed my mom and niece and spelt my nieces name wrong among other things. ( I am a journo so only other journos would really relate with my little thromby on that one).
I ended up getting away with my straightforwardness (you guys should understand what I mean... We don't mince words, no matter who it is and we are defiant about budging) and even got apologies from 2/3. The cop, I'm sure was just a dirty cop looking scare a poor civilian into bribery to not be arrested. I was like "I am not getting out of this car! You have no right to arrest me for not having my license with me, I know my rights, blah blah blah. I told her "you're allowed to give me a fine and that's all, so give me the fine and I will gladly go pay it tomorrow, but You cannot arrest me and if you do, I will report you!" I can't believe I drove away without a fine. I was sure each and every word that was coming out of my mouth was ringing up the dollars on my fine, like a cash register! But nothing!

I think all three were really caught off guard at my rock solid defiance and arguments and didn't actually know how to react!

SO GLAD!!!

I have been a complete scatterbrain this last year. My confidence is down. My joie de vivre has been non existent. I just want to get back on track. I am sorry that you all are dealing with it. But I am glad that it isn't just me.

My joie de vivre has also been MIA for a while. I hate it! It's like I can't be bothered doing my most favourite things in the whole world! I want it back please universe! Pls send my joie de vivre back to me and my passion for my favourite activities again!

I've been on and off this past year, I guess it has to do with the guy I was seeing, maybe, I don't know.
I feel like I still don't know anything. Sad.
