Okay,
It's been happening for quite a while, but it seems that I've failed to notice the real problem except today.
For some time (a month, maybe two), I've been experiencing strange mood swings. My emotions change all the time. Sometimes I'm in a state of "hypomania", energetic, hopeful, creative, having wonderful insights, confident, talking a lot, laughing a lot and feeling that I'm simply in love with my life!
Okay, I think I like this mood. I've never experienced it with that intensity in my life before. I know some things have changed forever in my life in the previous months. I've changed a lot, and I'm facing lots of challenges and I mean LOTS.
Anyway, this mood doesn't seem to last. Suddenly I just find myself on the other side feeling hopeless, helpless, lonely, crying, demotivated and extremely depressed. Sometimes I know the cause, a disappointment. But mostly the emotions just seem to "happen".
I feel really bad. I think my emotions are becoming completely void of meaning! I mean whatever I'm feeling right now, I know I can feel the opposite about the same thing in a minute.
I don't know what to do. I was depressed for some part of my life. I'm fairly familiar with the CBT techniques that got me out of their. But I don't know if its the same thing here.
:unsure:
Any ideas??
