I've been really emotional I geuss the past year, but my feelings are connected to things that happen in my life, and change in response to things. I'm this mixed bag of constantly changing feelings. I think this started when my medication was slightly reduced.

Like right now I'm feeling proud of myself for certain things i've done this week, insecure and dissapointed about others, really happy about about some things that happened to me, bummed out about other stuff that didn't go my way, both apprehensive and excited for the future, and I pretty much both semi-hate and semi-love every single person in my life right now, including myself. Idk how it's possible for a person to feel so many contradictory overlapping things all at once.

But it's not the same as my bipolar swings. I find during episodes i'm either really ****ing miserable no matter what happens around me for weeks/months, or euphoric really no matter what happens around me for days/weeks. Even during mixed episodes (when i feel energetic but depressed) theres this rigidity. Plus as rule, my bipolar moods are at a disconnect with the real world. And i'm not experiencing that and haven't in a really long time. So it's not the same.

Just wondering if what I'm going through is normal. Do you guys tend to feel alot when stable? like be really affected by environments/people/things/experiences?

I’ve had this type of thing happen before when I’m not entirely stable. I call it emotionally indigestion. Maybe you need a Med adjustment?

Interesting. The weird thing is I kinda like how I am right now. I feel alive

Oh for me it’s more toward the negative than positive. Watch it in case you get manic.

Absolutely! I have the semi-hate/semi-love for all friends and family in my life, the extremes of depression and euphoria at the same time. Thank you for your post, it makes so much sense to me. I wish, however, that I had an answer to this type of situation. I don't understand...is this just my personality? Is it bipolar disorder? I have suggested to my therapist that I have BPD traits; she repeatedly says no, I do not. The extremes are exhausting and, in some way, discouraging. To me, it feels like I am never stable.

I feel a lot of very mixed feelings when I need more stability; however, that's just me.

I hope you can get a handle on this; it sounds exhausting!

Sounds mixed to me. To me that’s pure hell on earth when it takes that horrible downward spiral.

Take care and just monitor how your doing.
