I am very emotionally unstable

[kurosh]

I go through huuuuuuuuge mood swings all the time. I'd compare it to going through the menstrual cycle, but I have no first-hand experience. Some days I will be very aggressive and horny. The next day I will be sad and passive. I can be motivated one hour and not care the next. I can love an ex-girlfriend, not being able to live without her, then the next day not really care too much about what happens with her. I don't understand it. It's as if my entire thought process about everything changes.

You must be a [censored] sapien. I think that's your problem.

[kurosh]

Everyone is like this? You feel like a different person day to day? Sometimes hour to hour?

[A_C_Slater]

No, not me you freak! Never me! I am more human than human. Maybe you are one of those bi-polar freaks!

Pretty normal stuff man. Not that it doesn't suck, but everyone has crazy moodswings. Being young doesn't help either.

Try eating healthier and taking some multivitamins(if you dont already). I read fish oil helps people with mental problems(no you are not insane). I am similar to what you describe, and I think I might be slightly bipolar, nothing serious. Fishoil and weed seems to help me.


If that doesn't work you can try seeing a therapist?

Isn't that odd, the word that is censored?
Lets do be so completely PC.
The "H" word for "man"; the "G" word for happy.

I may aswell have posted that. Some days when I see my Ex I start to think "why did I leave her? I so miss her" and the next day I won't even look at her and not even thinking about it just to start thinking about her the next morning or something... you get the point. Same thing in poker. If I take bad beats one day I may go "Ah well those things happen" and the next day I will break a chair or something (I have done that yes).

I really need to improve this part to become a good player and believe me, I tend to go out of line to when playing live and that is really bad and I feel really bad afterwards too. I'd love to see a post on this subject where someone post useful information about how to get over it or just some background facts to it so I get a point to why it is like this.

Sounds like you're on-tilt. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's moodiness, and it can be effected by all sorts of factors. It's not uncommon to feel one way and then have a complete turnaround the next (ie. you're not alone).

The trick (I find) is to recognize a time when you are thinking straight (logically) and make your choices then, and when you become emotionally "unstable" recall your choices and stick to them. Make an emotional committment to your logical decisions.
