Since around Middle of winter up until now I’ve been experiencing rapid mood swings nearly every day. I can switch from being irritated with everything to happy and optimistic doing all the things I love in just a few hours or I can be content and okay half the day and suddenly lose all of my energy and just want to lay on my couch feeling like I’m sick. Another thing that’s been happening for a few weeks now is that I can be extremely happy, motivated and optimistic for certain things (like the book I’ve started writing), feeling like I can do anything I want and everything sounds so good to try and after those days I will just feel like crap again for a day or two and not care that much.(I just want to screaaaaaaam) Then my therapist comes. She hasn’t mentioned any mental illness like depression or bipolar(I’ve asked her specifically for those.) but she does say that all that I’m experiencing is stress. Everyone keeps saying that I’ve made drastic improvements over a short period of time and I’m a better person but why do I feel more stressed than ever? Yes I’m 21, dropped (public)uni cause of my stress( I didn’t like it either) and started working just recently for the first time so those might be causing the stress but I’d really like tips on how to manage better my mood swings and my stress. (Sorry for grammar mistakes or something but my mind right now isn’t working properly.)
