understanding the moodswings

[observingoutcast]

hello readers,

i have been having many moodswings lately. they confuse me. one minute i feel nothign, the next minute i feel sad, than mad, and then nothing again.. the contrasts between the moods are large.... they confuse me, hard to keep up with at times. does any of you ever feel like this? do you understand your moodswings?



take care

sometimes moods are signs of things... like not getting enough sleep to other stuff. if you don't know, then seeing a doctor is a great idea.

after you determine why, the next thing to determine is what you need and ways to help. after you determine what you need, we can help think of ideas to support you

Agreed

Is there anything you can think of that trigger the mood swings, because when you can isolate the trigger, you can work on putting stuff into place to stop it happening again

Are you in therapy? Do you keep a journal? I suggest both to help you learn about your moods and what is triggering them. When I was experiencing extremes in mood it was usually because I was being triggered and didn't even realize it. Now, I am more keenly aware of what might trigger me, and have learned coping skills to combat the mood swing before it gets too extreme.

God bless.

thank you for replying. by now i have found out that the moodswings are caused by envy of others, when i see them get along as if they are the best of friends, sharing and trusting each other... when faced with my own situation (the lack thereof) it badly influences my mood.. one split second thought of the difference can be enough to be lost in a negative mood for a while... in a way it scares me every time, since i get lost in that mood and start ruining my own chances in life and carreer... it's either have it all or have nothing for me in such mood.... how to deal with it? when i am in a negative mood i dont care enough to change things into something positive again...

i kept a journal for a few years, but stopped it, getting frutrating of always writing about the same never changing things... in the end all i did was scratch the pages out of frustration or anger, not being able to find the patience to actually write letters...

soon i will try therapy.. but for now i don't really believe it can actually change things...



take care and hope you will be blessed and supported
