But to build off of @blossom12's point, what I try to do is record symptoms in my mood journal in as much detail as possible during confusing states like these. For me, it's helped me understand what's going on in my mind, and by writing it down, it becomes easier to explain to someone else.
my dr. has always been telling me to keep a journal and write down my feelings especially when i have ups and downs, but i kept forgetting and didn't feel like writing. a friend suggested that i should have an online journal (private) if i don't feel like writing (with pen and paper), and i started a month ago. i guess i should use it as a mood journal too.
