Since i catastrophize a lot it can be a relief to realize that things are not necessarily the way I perceive them to be right now... that can also be a blessing at times.

My mood swings sometimes don't seem to make a whole lot of sense. Like I understand the bipolar hypo/mania and depression. But there's also the anger and depression that's situationally triggered. I've just got so much going on and I can't tell what's related and what's not.
