Mood Changes All Over the Place

[antidonjuan]

In my journey, it happens that in certain situations I feel very confident and sometimes I feel bad about myself. Certain days I am very happy how things went for me in social situations and some days it just falls apart. I think I lack control in my days and I can't control my emotions. I change my emotions really quickly and can't seem to stay calm and cool. Sometimes I act very out-going (most of the times) and other times I feel down for no reason.

Sure, I can be happy for 1 day but on other day I just feel down. So many changes that I am experiencing is making me going all over the place. My emotions go up and down throughout the day.

What should I do?

This is really common and there are ways to keep generating one state constantly. This happens because there are a collection of things that reminds you of one state, like being happy or outgoing, or even an action. Has anyone ever told you that a butterfly could change the way your day progresses? The key is to have something close to you that will always remind you of that state.

Here's one exercise that will help you:

Find a room where you won't be disturbed and turn your cell phone on silent (I don't get why people tell you to turn your cell phone off, no one's going to do that). Lie down or sit up straight while closing your eyes, and breathe in deeply, then out. Repeat this process for at least two minutes.

Next step is to recall those feelings of when you're outgoing or happy. Just bask in those memories and let it control you.

Next step is to constantly clench and unclench your fist. So while you're reliving those outgoing and happy memories, you're constantly clenching and unclenching your fist. After about 10 or 15 minutes, stop.

What you did was apply the emotions of feeling happy and being outgoing to clenching your fist. Here's an example of how it works. Whenever I hear the word bed, I immediately think of the words tired, relaxing, and comfortable. And then suddenly in that moment, I AM kind of tired, a bit relaxed, and am desiring of a bed. Want a better example? I bet if I talked about the girl you like you'll be smiling and happy

So by applying clenching your fist to being happy and being outgoing, all you have to do is clench your fist to be happy and outgoing. Though this is not going to work on the first try. You'll have to repeat this technique constantly for at least a month to work properly.

I actually have a huge problem with this. I've gone into "depression-like" states for up to six months where I'm simply fatigued all the time. When I am happy it's usually changing on a week to week basis. The times I am happy with myself and wild and confident - I'm amazing at everything i do (girls, job, sports, friendships). Unfortunately I can't seem to keep that a constant state.
