Right now I'm different than I was this morning. I don't know what yesterday was like. I remember smiling and being happy and feeling things but I feel really disconnected. It's more like remembering a dream than remembering real-life events. It seems like I switch back and forth, when I'm emotionless and disconnected, I can't remember what I did when I felt the other way except for bits and pieces. I don't know if it's the same way when I have the other personality.
It's really really hard to explain. I think people around me think I just switch from really good moods to really bad moods, but it's more than that. When I'm in this mood (the empty mood) I can't remember what I'm like in the other mood. It's weird and I don't know how to explain it. It's like somebody hit a reset button in my head

Sometimes it seems like I have a dominant self and that can switch at a different time.
Coping with emotions can take getting adequate but not too much sleep, eating healthy foods on a regular basis, exercising regularly, and creating a nurturing environment.
Sometimes we need to do more things that help us get out of the dark place or our shadow self.

I completely understand this feeling. I'm there now.

Where, though, I just don't know...

I know how it is to switch ego states. For me it is totally normal. It might even be common, I think it is one of these things people simply don't talk about. The worst is to be inbetween them in my case, it is being peeled off everything but the very basic personality traits.

I've also been seen from the outside and been suggested I was bipolar but it's not basically about moods seen from the inside.

My memories form very strange, I don't ever push anything out of memory, I remember in detail, but there is something lacking, the mere feeling that those memories are me, the me in the past.

I think this is a very interesting thing, and like I said probably not too uncommon. I think this also is the correct section to do it in. Most likely to have other people see, and maybe get good replies.

How can you be stabilized if it is not a mood disorder?
