How come yesterday I felt great, happy, smiling, not shy, not scared to leave the house, could care less if ppl look at me. And then POOF....Today I'm a recluse. What Happened since yesterday that I feel this way. I was fine. Did I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

Anyone else have this happen to them?

This happens to me ALL the time. I actually have no idea what causes it or what it could be, but I'll feel great and I can actually walk around in public and not think that I look hideous. And the POOF, I'll get really nervous and about burst into tears when I go to a store or school.

This used to happen a lot to me. I don't know why it became more stable exactly.

But I think it also has to do with changing your character/personality. I think after a lot of experience and having a good weekly rhythm in your life, your personality can become more stable.

Just keep doing what is right and I think this will become less for you in the future.

that happens to me too. I like Severijn's comment about having a good weekly rhythm, that has to be helpful. lately I have just been overwhelmed and strangely when things slowed down a little today even though I was exhausted and ready for it, I started to crash. I rode my exercise bike (while looking at cookie recipes......)and that did help.

Thx for the replies. I actually started feeling better this evening. It's so weird how I feel my mood shift.
I hope I feel ok tomorrow cuz I gotta get the errands done that I put off for today. And I have a christmas party to go to tomorrow night. I Have to dig deep, put on a big smile and act normal. Ugh.... I wish I could stay in hiding.

I do. I attribute mine for the most part to a poor nights sleep. Yet I do know this is not the complete answer. I too don't understand it. Yours and mine are a severe symptom of what people say are "good days and bad days" that all people experience. That's how I look at it......and just accept it as that. I
have a severe anxiety problem and feel that it is part of that whole syndrome. I DO FIGHT IT THO'. UNLESS I am TOO TIRED and then will NEVER get behind the wheel of my car. I do force myself to get out of the house and face the day.....
