Discussion random mood swings

[jacarandash]

does anybody else get random mood swings at the weirdest moments? i was in the library studying and was feeling quite content, but then after listening to music for a while i became very upset for no reason. i remained this way until the next day and the same feeling is now returning. anybody else experience this?

Yeah, sort of. I'm pretty sensitive to things. I think it's my BPD

Same, BPD is a bitch but before I realized I had it I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I don't doubt you could be having the same or similar problems to us.

I was initially diagnosed with bipolar too!

it's something i did speak briefly to my psychiatrist about but he brushed it off like it was no concern. it was my last session with him though so i hope to bring it up to my new psychiatrist in the coming months

Definitely mention it to your new psych, maybe keep a journal of your moods throughout the day as well to paint a picture for them?

normally i have highs followed by lows or vice versa, but sometimes when i space out i can just feel a complete void of motivation to do anything.

Kinda have those too. From "Ready to face life head on!" to "I wanna ctb rn", back and forth (simplifying it a bit). I guess those are "mood swings" given the randomness. I've started to disacociate with my own emotions, since it's "Something I experience" opposed to "My feelings". Not all, not completely, but at least to a noticeable extent.

i'm depressive bipolar so mine tend to last a few weeks or at the very minimum a few days. I would say my manic lasts 3-5 days and then depressive seems to last 3 weeks

I for sure know what you mean, for me at least I can be having a decent day, and then out of nowhere it just hits me how much everything sucks sometimes lol, sometimes my depressive episodes last weeks
