Change in Moods
It’s crazy how fast you can change moods with BPD. One minute you can feel happy. Like you’re on top of the world and everything is going good for you. The next you can be down in the dumps, feeling super low and hopeless. On the verge of tears and eventually crying. This change in moods can leave a person being so confused and lost. It happens so fast. For some it can be within minutes. And for others, it’ll suddenly change halfway through the day.
Just a few days ago I experienced this quick change in moods. All day I was feeling okay. And by the time night fell, I was a different person. My mood went from okay to low. This was very confusing for me because I couldn't think of a clear reason why my mood dipped. It just did. This is very common for people with BPD. The change in moods can happen with no clear reason/no reason at all. Before I knew it, I was crying and felt even lower. I tried to distract myself by watching Netflix, but that didn't work as well as it usually does. I just felt broken....all I wanted to do after crying was go to sleep. I didn’t want to feel anything at all anymore in that moment. I just wanted everything to be over...and so before long I went to sleep with hopes that in the morning I would be a bit better....
