How do you stabilize your mood?! Help driving me crazy and everyone around me?

Question

I feel like I'm exploding inside with emotions! I am fighting so hard to try and block them from coming through but from one second to the next I will be angry, then cry, then happy, then some other emotion! Help please this has been going on for a few days and it's driving me and everyone around me crazy. I have depression and take st. Johns wort pills for that. It kind of helps but what can I do for this?!

Answer 1

Are you under a lot of stress?  I know I feel especially keyed-up when I'm stressed out.  

Sometimes, when I feel I'm going to have an emotional outburst (of any kind), I like to sit outside for a few minutes and listen to music on headphones.  That gives me time to catch a few deep breaths and calm down.  

You should try finding a creative outlet for some of that emotional energy!  

Answer 2

Of you cant take it then see a physician and ask her for a referral...I know that it is not fun taking meds, but I do and I do feel much better...

Answer 3

See a psychiatrist and tell them about this. They can put you on mood stabilizers. Right now I'm on Abilify which is a mood stabilizer that also treats depression so maybe that would be a good fit for you?
