increase in cursing?

Question

k, well see i have been diagnosed w/ depression, but have been on meds lately and have been feeling better. I don't get mad as easily, and i cuss less in my mind that before (i would say the f word in my mind all the time over everything). Now though, i have noticed an increase of cussing (verbally) and i don't know why. In the past few days i have already pretty much created the habit or saying Scheize (sorry, sp?) when something goes wrong. I keep saying the s word, a word, things like that. My friend has noticed it, and i don't know whats up. I have also noticed an increasin of flipping people off, even just to be funny (guy made me mad, jokingly flipped him off so my freind could see). The prob is i don't like this, and my friend is mormon and i don't want to offend her. And plus i'm just worried i will replaspe into depression. Please, don't give me anything about how cussing isn't bad, just please help me. thanks

Answer 1

Cussing is a hard habit to break. If you want to stop, then you have to really commit to it. Cussing is like a knee-jerk reaction to certain situations. I started using other words in place of curse words, like fudge, shoot, etc. It sounds stupid, but after a while I weened myself off cussing all the time. I try and take time to consider what I say now before I say it. Nice to hear that you are being considerate of your Mormon friend.

Mood altering meds like Zoloft or Prozac can have the same affect. I think you are getting some kind of hormone rush. Try St. John's wort supplement to help with chemical balance.

Answer 3

Maybe there is some deep down angry there now the medication is taking effect your are now say what you use to hold but and make you depressed.
This is coming from life experience's. I feel like people are using my kind nature for advantage, I never say what I think, I just used to hurt myself.

Possible you are on the wrong meds. You may have to change. Talk to your dr about this.
My husband has a habit of swearing, and I hate telling him about it, cuz I feel like a hypocrite when I swear, except not as much as him.
I came up with something that has been very effective for both of us, and we have even shared it with family and friends, and they think it is cute and now they use it, too.
My husband swore one day, and I asked, I didn't tell him, I asked him to stop swearing. He got hostile and said he was tired of me telling him what to do. I kept my cool and said, Honey, I never ever tell you what to do. I am asking you to stop your swearing when I am around. I hate it, it bothers me, and I just don't like it. How about every time you swear, or I swear, we have a code name, and instead of you feeling like I am telling you to do something, I am merely saying one word that means to stop swearing. So, we came up with the word "Henry". Every time we swear, one of us catches it, and then we say Henry. Even on the tv if the say hell or damn, Jerry catches it so fast and says Henry. It also puts a smile on our faces, along with our loved ones, too, who have started do this.
Moreover, you may be someone who has always been one to stuff their anger. Maybe therapy and your doctor are helping to get this anger out, but it may not be coming out effectively. I have been in therapy for over 2 years, and I notice as I get better, that I don't always handle anger in an effective way. Do not be so hard on yourself.
When you notice that you are getting upset, observe your actions. Describe them, also. Say, I am feeling angry, and it is making me very irritable and I want to swear. If you are aware of your emotions, it may be easier to control them.
I hope I have helped. You have a good heart my dear. Keep going to counseling. And if you don't think they are helping you, you have the option to find someone else. You have to be your own advocate in your health care. You have to be the judge, are they helping me, or do I need to fire them and go to someone else. And even if that person is not effective, it may take a few more tries.
Take care, hon. I hope you feel better and that I have helped you with your concerns.
