Highs And Lows Do You Get Them ?

[Sammyiam]

@Solara yes I have sometimes had that huge high and huge low, but not often I have felt like there has never ever been anything wrong ever in my life and I can do a million things at once, it's like your mind is thinking about a hundred things at once and can not turn off you just don't know what to do first and have so much energy it's like you have been supercharged, then next minute it all goes and you don't know why you are even living on the planet, I used to do it more before the meds I'm on, but it was very random and sometimes it was months apart and sometimes more often. But the energy you feel is amazing I just got so much done and never got tired. It would often last days rather than hours.

Thanks for your reply

@greenleaf wow my other Therapist talked to me about the little bubbles, and she was so nice she told me to go to this psychologist as she specialises in Ptsd and disassociation but I still catch up with my old one and see her ever few weeks to see how I'm getting on and get a coffee just to check on me.

Thanks so much for your reply Greenleaf

I'm new to this forum. I just have to say about the highs and lows, I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster, or like a small boat in a storm - sacked around constantly. I wake up early am with excruciating anxiety I'm better during some of the day, then profoundly anxious/nonfunctioning, happy, depressed. I feel like an emotional failure, very much like an emotional failure. And what's worse, I worry about my ability to manage work which on the one hand I love and on the other triggers me so much..

@Laurie2001

I am exactly the same about work, I love my work more than anything, but there are so many things about it that send me off the deep end it isn't funny. It is a very hard place to be in isn't it. I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you other than we just have to slowly work through it I think, and expect good days and bad days, that's what everyone here is telling me.

Oh yeah. To the point where I too wonder if I have Bipolar (the Rapid Cycling kind) but looks like mood swings are common with PTSD, so probably "just" that.

It is a part of Complex PTSD. Emotional dysregulation.
Yes for me to it can be quick and debilitating. It is always out of proportion to how I think I should be feeling.
