mood swing or sumpong

[superdaisy]

hello there,

minsan kasi malakas ang sumpong ko. parang elevated ang pag kakaroon ko ng mood swing. sa unang weeks or  unang month masaya, super masaya ako. pero pag mga ilang weeks or ilang months after ng masaya, medyo may sumpong na, nagkakaroon nako ng mood swing. minsan nadadala ako sa pagiging emosyon ko. minsan napapaisip ako paano kaya kung nawala ako bigla at di kinaya ng ego ko. minsan napapaisip nako ng ganyan. minsan bigla na lang sisimangot. minsan tatahimik. pag hindi maganda ang aura ko, nananahimik ako sa isang tabi na parang bata. i dont think kung meron akong bipolar. minsan pag sobrang stress din kasi at palaisip pag malungkot na minamigraine ako at minsan sumasakit ang ulo ko. nagdedesisyon ako agad na di ko pinagiisipan. minsan di ko muna iniisip kung tama ba ang nasasabi ko kasi minsan may pag kasarcastic ako, minsan pilosopo. tapos pag naadvice nako masaya na naman ako hahaha parang akong baliw. parang may bipolar disorder ako. elevated ang mood swing ko. kung may gamot lang sana ang pagiging sumpong kaso minsan tumatahimik na lang ako. minsan nakasimangot kaya tawag sakin nung bata pa ko simang. meron din akong phobia sa madaming tao, talagang mahiyain ako sa mga pinsan ko, tiya ko...pero minsan nakikipaglokohan naman ako. siguro epekto ito ng childhood days ko kasi binubully ako dati? may epekto ba?

paano ba mahahandle yung pagiging mood swing? paano ba maiiwasan? sa tingin niyo ba may bipolar disorder ako? ang mahina daw ang loob ay mababa ang self-esteem. paano ko tataasan ang self- esteem ko?paano din maalis [textspeak!] hiya sa madaming tao?

malakas din  sumpong ko lalo pag  malapit na akong mag mens.. hormones i think?? but  i MENS is normal for us girls, ang abnormal is yung mga MEN na hindi maintindihan ang mga pinagdadaanan nating girls...

^^ sis, ganyan din ako dati.  and i also believe, it was all because of my childhood don.  Pag nagkaron nga ko ng mood swings dati, yong peak na parang di ko maintindihan kung depressed ako na naiinis ako sa sarili, I don't want to be happy (at me time pa na nagsasayahan mga friends at ako ang KJ, nakasimangot lang).  What made it go away?  When I involved myself much in being around people who are making me feel that I am loved.  And I got a pet (dog) who became my companion (kasi pansin ko mas nagkakaron ako ng mood swing pag I am alone).  Ayun, unti unting nawala yong peak na yon.  You can make it to go away sis, just remember happy thoughts.  Or if you feel na you are in the surge of having mood swing, maybe just go out with your friends, get busy, develop a hobby or get a pet.

[superdaisy]

naku 2 na nga dogs ko eh hehe may mga ibon pa kami. pero thanks sa advices niyo ha. yan din sabi sakin ng kuya ko develop a new hobby hehe.

[Nuna]

Ako rin sumpungin. Sobra! Dumating na rin ako sa point na napaisip ako kung bipolar ba ako? Hehe! Pero in fairness sakin, less sumpong nako ngayon. Compared noon na grabe sumpungin ko na para daw akong bata sabi ng asawa ko. Haha

Husband ko ang pinaka malaking help kung pano nawala yung mga lungkot ko sa buhay, yung worries, yung depressions. Basta tinuruan nya ko na maging mas positive sa buhay.

[aquacharly]

SUPERDAISY,  errrr,   maybe you can focus on the words:   grow up, discipline, self-control? 

Hindi como feel mo maging sarcastic, maging moody eh... go, go,, go.

Sure, everybody has down days, low batt days, grrrrr days... but you try to shake it off asap coz well, alam mo hindi acceptable social behavior, does not foster productivity, does  you no good, etc etc etc....   be objective, not emotional as much as possible.
You have responsibilities to yourself, your family, your colleagues to be not an obstructive nor destructive person.   

Think it over, before you go as far as thinking you are bipolar.  We are all bipolar, depressed, antisocial, even suicidal at times   -- but what varies from a normal to a clinical case is the frequency and period we get into such funks. 

Now, if you really cannot help yourself inspite of your motivation and attempts, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to go seek professional help.  Do not be shy about it, do not delay.

Happy NEW YEAR.

whenever i have sumpong, i distance myself from the ones i love. sinasabi ko agad na bad mood ako, balik na lang ako later. as much as possible, i try to take a nap.. or take a long bath (it makes me feel beautiful). haha. pero kung nasa labas ako, nagbabasa ako or nagdodoodle ako ng kahit ano. it works. ayoko mandamay haha

[Periwinkle25]

ako din, super sumpong ako..at madalas sa hindi, si hubby ang natatamaan ng galit ko lalo na if super stressed out..at times, i play my fave music trying to drive the bad mood away..i've got a weak support system here abroad kasi like you sis superdaisy, i have some days of not being able to relate well with others.It's probably because I wasn't raised in an affectionate family.We always had rules to follow..Moreover, I have insecurities coz I was also bullied during my childhood days.. So during my downtimes, I write all the things in my mind, I do things that I love best, I eat my fave foods..These are just some of the things I do to cope up with my sumpong..I guess, you just have to figure out  ways to manage it on your own or with the help of your support system(family/friends.)

Recently I was diagnosed of cyclothemic disorder or cyclothemia. My mood swings from being super happy to being so depressed. most of the time pa nga i like to withdraw myself socially and just drown myself to my own thoughts.

this psychological disorder is a mild bipolar. most of the time, people have symptoms na ganito pero they just ignore it kasi akala nila sumpong lang. kasi there were times when bigla ako nalulungkot with no apparent reason.

here's the symptoms of cyclothemia or cyclothemic disorder

[url][url]

Symptoms

Dysthymic phase

Symptoms of the dysthymic phase include difficulty making decisions, problems concentrating, poor memory recall, guilt, self-criticism, low self-esteem, pessimism, self-destructive thinking, constant sadness, apathy, hopelessness, helplessness and irritability. Also common are quick temper, poor judgment, lack of motivation, social withdrawal, appetite change, lack of sexual desire, self-neglect, fatigue, and insomnia.[3]

Euphoric phase

Symptoms of the euphoric phase include unusually good mood or cheerfulness (euphoria), extreme optimism, inflated self-esteem, rapid speech, racing thoughts, aggressive or hostile behavior, lack of consideration for others, agitation, massively increased physical activity, risky behavior, spending sprees, increased drive to perform or achieve goals, increased sexual drive, decreased need for sleep, tendency to be easily distracted, and inability to concentrate.[4]

(from wikipedia)

so right now I will have talk therapy. curable naman to. it won't disrupt me from being normal. in fact some people with this disorder is not even aware they have this. so I guess I will be fine

[kaiz]

ako moody din pero pansin ko, mas moody ako kapag nasa house ako. haha. stressful work ko pero hindi ako masyadong moody dun.. actually moody ako pagdating sa work pero pag upo ko sa table and nakapag kape na, ok na ako. pag uwi ng house, ayan mag uumpisa na naman sumpong ko. lalo na pagnakikita ko husband ko. hehe. nakakapagod office work ko kasi malaking responsibility nakapatong sa akin pero minsan going to work actually destresses me.

[craziestqueenever]

Aaminin ko sumpungin talaga ako. Lalo na noong bata pa ako. Madali ako mapikon at iiyakan ko ang konting bagay. Tapos may panahon na mas parang magaan sa loob kapag nailalabas mo ang galit mo. Something like that...

Pero nagbago ang lahat. Nabasa ko sa isang libro na pwede nating i control ang sarili natin. I make sure na iisipin ko muna kong [textspeak!] ang kalalabasan nang isang bagay na ginawa ko. At kapag alam ko na magiging ganun na nga ang resulta tatahimik muna ako mag iisip isip.

Mas magiging maganda kung mag co-collect tayo ng quotes lalo na about Positive Thinking at Happiness quotes.

I grew up extremely spoiled and it was sort of difficult for me to learn na I can't always get my way and that people are not expected to take my command or to bow at my every word. I easily get irritated but years of experience and interaction with people have taught me to control myself and react rationally instead of emotionally.

Pick your battles, you dont want to have a miserable life just because your moods are controlling you. Nobdoy wants to be around negative people

[Cheesecak3]

Siguro normal naman na may mood swings tayo pero wag lang tayong masyadong magpadala dito. Dapat alam natin kung paano i-control. Kapag feel mo na susumpungin ka na naman, just try to be happy and to things that you love. Try a new hobby too.

I can very well relate and I agree.

[saskia]

count me in! I am super sumpungin. sometimes, i wake up in the wrong side of the bed. I am just thankful that people around me understand. pag tahimik ako, they give me space. minsan extreme din ugali ko. masaya tapos bigla magsusungit. 

i think every women has their own share of sumpong. i think we deserve it. lol

[reveriepainter]

It's really hard to deal pag may sumpong. I myself napapansin ko yung pag iiba ng moods ko.
@superdaisy try to observe yourself or the best thing is to seek help Sis.
Ako nga din naisip ko na I do have a disorder. Pero minsan I try to control myself and the situation
that I am in. Kaya lang minsan gaano ko man igrip to hold on hindi sapat. So I do escape na lang
to be alone. Or sleep. Or calm myself before I could have make any damage to myself or to others.

[superbubly]

ako laking spoiled kaya mahirap para sa akin yung ganitong ugali, mabilis magpalit ng mood, minsan sobrang happy ako tapos biglang bad mood hahaha, pero naintindihan naman ng ibang tao ugali ko, alam na nila kung bakit ganun

[bollin_pop]

Ako din topakin kung minsan. Masayahin naman kaso madaling topakin. Lalo na kapag di nasusunod ang gusto ko. Ayun.

Mahirap pigilan ang topak ko lalo na pag may monthly period. Kaming magkakapatid alam ng mag-adjust sa isat isa lalo na pag alam naming may period ang isa sa min.

Madali namang mawala, pagkain lang ok na agad ako.

[cristyles]

Sumpungin rin ako lalo na kung nasira routine ko or may humawak ng gamit ko. Sumpungin rin ako pag obligado akong gawin ang isang bagay na ayaw kong gawin hehe!

[aerish_anne]

hormonal imbalance madalas akong may mood swings before mag mens... hehe sumponggg BOOM
