Fast Changing Mood

Post Reply New Topic

1) The reason I didn't post this thread in the mental health forum is because I don't consider this to a be a problem for me. I'm just curious to know if other people are the same. But, if it needs to be moved then go ahead.

2) Anyway, my moods are so fast changing - I feel bored, then drepressed, angry, etc. Then whoosh! everything is wonderful and exciting and I don't want to go to sleep because I've so much to do.
However, I know this is not chronic depression or mania, I remain in control. I do think about hurting mysefl, but I don't. I go to bed later than I should, but I resist the tempataion to stay up all night.
I've also learnt how to change my moods. If I'm feeling down I know what will push my mood up again.
When I'm happy I know when its time to slow down.

Ugh! I don't really know how to describe this.
Basically: My moods are fast changing.
I don't lose control, but my moods make me feel either depressed or everything is ok. There isn't too much in between. I guess that it's because I'm more aware of my stronger emotions. When I'm calm I would say that I'm not really feeling anything.

Anyway, like I wrote I'm just more interested to know why this happens and if anyone else is like this,rather than thinking its a problem.
Thanks.

According to your sayings that looks like a light manic-depressive syndrom. And as often with the brain, that's all chemical, hormonals misbehaviours.

If you know how to regulate it, I don't think it's a problem either. Actually it could even be an asset as you could use it to study, work on anything you want with more energy than people usually can.

Maybe you know this on youtube website (sorry I can't post the link yet - forum rules), just do a search on "Transform Your Mind, Change Your Brain". It is a GoogleTechTalks video.

I think this is something that can help you or anyone in here who wants to master his brain.

Thank you for directing me to that video. I've started watching it and sounds like it's going to be really interesting! Thanks!
