Extreme mood swings

[Landslide]

I feel like I’ve lived with crazy mood swings my entire life but it’s getting to where it’s seriously effecting my relationships with people, my boyfriend and friends and my everyday life. Some days people say they feel that they can’t do anything right for me, almost like I’m constantly picking at them. I might get really angry with them and say things I don’t mean or sometimes I have intense panic attacks and thoughts of hurting myself because I feel that I’m such a bad person. Then I might be depressed for a day or two and not eat much. Then I might be fine for a few days and go kinda crazy and try to have fun and I don’t take the time to worry about anything. Sometimes during that time, I binge eat. It’s so complicated it’s hard for me to understand. Any advise?

Hello

You need to consider why my moods have changed, what is the cause. To know the reason will help you control the problems

If this persists and you cannot rectify the problem I would advise you talk to tour GP. Make a list what is going on, also the change of mood etc. Make two appointments together, this will allow an extended period for you to to explain your problems

Thank you for the advice. The thing is, I have always been like that, nothing here recently is the target. I have a Traumatic Brain Injury from a car accident and that increased the mood swings. But I’m now starting to accept it and realizing I need to figure out what it is.

I have a Chronic Short Term Memory Disorder and because of that I have made some extensive changes to my life to help me with my Short Term Memory. It has taken a long time to approach the problem although I still have problems remembering what I have done the day before and it can cause problems if I need to remember what I was up to the day before, my Days are long and I need to accept that memories are hard work.

In your case there may be ways they can help your Brain Damage and allow you to control your problem. A therapist may be able to help you control your mood changes.

In my case I have been given advise how to pass memories into different parts of my brain, It drives me daft sometimes, although I feel a sense of achievement if I remember activities sometimes from an earlier time. I use strange sayings and other jerks of memory to help

See if they can help you control on impulse, it will take time although you will over time gain confidence
