Emotions are difficult
I sometimes feel like I have bipolar. I've researched it extensively and seem to have some symptoms and even recognise that I have manic and depressives periods. But in addition to that over the last few months I've noticed that I only seem to have 4 emotions that go to extremes:
Happy - where I laugh at everything and nothing bothers me (eg when chatting with close friends)
Angry - whenever I get ** I just want to smack anybody in the face (anxiety social media and people can bring this on)
Despair - utter hopelessness and self loathing accompanied by General sadness (like normal depression - normally brought on by failure)
Numbness - about five after the initial extreme emotion has been felt and the moment is passed I drop into a state of numbness where I don't feel anything. When this happens people can snap me out of it but i like the feeling of numbness. I often feel most tired and hungry now
When I have these extreme emotions (esp anger and sadness) I find it incredibly hard to concentrate.
So what's wrong with me? Am I bipolar? Am I something else? Is this some form of anxiety (I've been diagnosed with anxiety)? Please, anyone who knows about this, what's wrong with me?
That's social anxiety, just part of your regular anxiety. Now stop shopping for more edgy labels to make yourself seem more tragic and deal with what's on your plate!
Being bipolar muself, its possible. Have you tried getting help for it? Support groups?
