Mood Swings

[Sexy Beast]

I know we all get them, and it's a normal thing with us humans, but how often do you get them? and if so often, do they affect your daily performance?

for me, I get them almost every day, and depending on how bad they are, they can make me either very energetic and happy or they can make me all gloomy with no energy at all. It just depends on what the situation I am in or am not in, and what my reaction and state of mind is accordingly.

Meh. My mood actually swings pretty heavily, but I try hard to keep it in check. I used to be much more mellow a few years back but something has me awfully high strung since about two years ago. I guess when my family really got hit by the recession kinda killed my overall attitude. Anyways, I try hard to be patient a lot but sometimes something just hit me just the right way to send me mood swinging like a wrecking ball, ready to rip heads off. It gets the better of me more than it should, despite my continuing efforts.

Ugh I get them really bad.

One minute I'm cruising through the day with no problems and then one little stupid thing can put me in a horrible mood. <_<

I am shitty for the rest of the day and I am just short with everyone around me.

It is annoying because I don't want to come across as a mean person, but I have a stressful job and anything can set me off.

I dont get them often at all, rarely ever. Years back when i was a teenager i was your fairly typical one and my mood swings happened often. My lifestyle back then didnt help my moods either but nowadays im a far more laid back and...dare i say, mature person than i was? I dont get angry at the drop of a penny now and i dont sulk.
Ive came to understand that things just happen. When you get annoyed it just makes it even more difficult andd you just get yourself wound up. Take a deep breath have a cigarette and get on with it.

pretty much daily for me lol, some days are worse than others, especially a day or 2 before my period im just really snappy and short tempered. it doesnt take much for me to go from pleasantly minding my own business, to raging haha

on the other side of it though, i can get more hyperactive than a toddler on smarties... im not sure which is worse for people in my immediate vicinity

I get mood swings frequently, some times I get them every few hours. My doctor thinks I have Bipolar because of it... which is interesting, haha, as I never would of thought it myself... but others around me feel it too, so I guess I must be somehow in some form. Not self-diagnosing anything though.

I don't really get mood swings...well, I have periods of moderate contentment and complete worthlessness (the latter more than the former) but they're not really daily things; these periods normally last for a few days, maybe a week, and then I'll go back to my default state for a bit, before the next thing comes around. It isn't very often that I'll change mood in the middle of the day for seemingly no reason whatsoever and, whilst it isn't always for any real reason I can identify, it sticks for a while.

Feeling worthless affects my ability to interact with people quite badly at times though - I either get extremely bitchy after about five minutes for no reason, or I just stop talking entirely, which is just awkward - so I tend to just avoid conversation when I'm feeling like that. Nobody gives a shit if I'm upset anyway, and it's not like I won't get over it eventually

All things considered, I'm fairly consistent in my moods most of the time. I was a walking hormone bomb in my late teens, but I've since mellowed out a bit, despite the fact I'm prone to random explosive outbursts online. I just enjoy typing out rants. I don't pay much attention to my feelings anyway. xD

I don't really get mood swings... I did at Uni, but I think that was due to the Evra Patch. I'd be fine one minute, crying the next, then laughing at how ridiculous my tears were because I felt upset about nothing, but even behind the laughter I felt depressed...

My mood can change at the drop of a hat, but only when my mum does something to irritate me. She likes to tell me that I'm the msot self-centred human being when I accidentally wake her up at night or take the wrong tea, likes to treat me like I'm anorexic when I feel like eating fish and veg without carbs for dinner due to eating a lot of during the day, and always brings her stress from work home. Occasionally, my dad manages to irritate me, but I my mood doesn't really change for long... I just tell him off and move on.

I used to be a very moody person but over the last year I have really chilled out a lot. I still get grumpy or sulky sometimes but I don't really let the mood last, I might sulk for 10 minutes and then just get over it. There's not much point in being grumpy over something for too long because it's just a waste of your time. And things are only shit if you let them. You can either grump over something or you can get over it and fix it up with a better attitude.

I think I'm fairly typical, considering I do get those teenage mood swings a lot, but I don't have them so much it really makes an impact on my life. Sometimes without meaning to, I'll insult my family and friends, but they luckily are sweet enough to understand how moody I can get, especially during that one week of the month. xD
