Do you guys get these extreme mood swings? Like, the moment i feel happiness i feel it extremely much and I'm able to let the obsessive thoughts go easily, but there are days that i just wake up in a depressive mood and i get extremely sad and helpless with obsessive thoughts consuming me almost completely and I can't control my compulsions as much (but still have control due to meditation). I also have sudden bursts of anger when someone talks to me or interrupts me during my "blue mood". I used to hit myself into obedience when i was younger, now i no longer do it and I'm much more positive about myself. Anyone can relate?

Yes 100% i get really worried about my mood swings sometimes as I feel it’s not normal to go from complete happiness to complete depression in such a short time space. I often wonder if it’s bipolar, pms, borderline personality disorder ir something else. It scares me. I can only imagine it makes you feel the same, it’s good to know i’m not alone in this

Trigger Warning: That's what I'm suspecting too. I've also read that there is connection between bipolar disorder and ocd, they also have some similar symptoms so this could also just be our reaction to stress caused by the intrusive. After all, mood swings are quite common when it comes to anxiety disorders. Either way, it's nice to know there are other people with this problem.

I think instead of diagnosing what it could be, I’ve learned to just realise that we have shit days. We have days where we feel depressed and days where we’re happy and that emotions are like waves and as much as we don’t want to experience a bad wave, the only way to get to the good waves again is to surve the bad ones. What makes our emotions bad is when we resist them
