Mood swings
| Tue, 04-26-2005 - 2:07pm |
Hi. I was wondering if it is normal to have crazy mood swings as I'm going through this latest breakup. The last time we broke up, I was just sad. Couldn't stop crying. This breakup is different. One minute I'll be crying, the next minute I hate him, the next minute I miss him and want him back, and the next minute I'm mad at myself for putting myself in this situation again. And back through the cycle again. It makes me feel a little unstable. Is this normal?

Totally!!!
You might want to do a google search on the stages of grief (traditionally associated with grieving when someone dies, but they apply to a break up also). I've found that they never move in straight succession, and I can go through all the stages in a day, and then start all over ;-). So you're not alone at all.

LOL - your post was ME ... to a T!
last year, when we broke up for the first time - i was a WRECCCCKKKKKK...couldnt stop crying, my heart was literally breaking into a million pieces, - the works!
this time, im SAD, but sometimes ok? then i go through being mad - then i get panicky, and then sometimes just nostalgic. then im back to being SAD, and then breaking down and wanting to call him and cry for him back, then moments of "i dont get you?? what the hell is wrong with your head?!" to "i hate you!" ...lol
glad to know im not the only "crazy" one ;)
eeksj :D
LOL
yes, these would ALL be me:
"omg, omg - i cant believe we're broken up! NOOO!!! OMG! OMG! i cant breathe..!!"
"fine then, be that way you jer*! im too good for your emotional issues anyways! HMPH!"
"i miss him soooo much!! ahhhh .. i want to call him! i need to tell him that i love him! he needs to remember how he loves me! "
"i cant believe you put me in this place again!! you f*cker! i hate you with a livid passion. i hope you never have sex again, you grow bald, and will still be unmarried 7 years from now! GRRR."
"i dont understand why we're broken up?? this doesnt make sense! it cant possibly be!! no, its not true..."
"ah well, life moves on. it doesnt even hurt that much this time anyways...think im just gonna go shopping and buy me a new purse :) "
"why is he not contacting me?? how is not possibly missing me?! HULLO?!?!"
...just a FEW of my split-personalities :)

Exactly! Sounds like you have been reading my mind!
By the way, my "wish" for my ex was that he would get erectile dysfunction that didn't respond to medication AND go bald. :o)
OMG - LOL
your erectile dysfunction "wish" - was absolutely hilarious, haha..it full out made me laugh out loud! :D
im sooooooooo adding that to my list of "wishes" for my ex :D
thanks for the good laugh, and great new addition to my list ;)

yes, its been quite the "ride" .. as my other threads illustrate - im all over the map. days when im sad, days when im content, other times when im about to breakdown like a madwoman and other times when im just mad as hell...
and yes, i have evil wishes for my ex, lol - not gonna lie! its not that i dont respect him or love him ... i do wayyyyyy tooooo much :( ... but as far as im concerned, im too upset to bid him well right now and i feel no guilt for that! lol
so - on with my list of "hope he balds, gains weight, is still unmarried 7 years from now," and oh the new one: "gets erectile dysfunction that is unresponsive to medication!"
hehehe...
hugs to all,
eeks
and oh p.s. - now that im done my semester (& YAYY by the way!) - the first thing im gonna do this week before i have to start work is hop on to my dr's to get a referral for counselling .. im actually so excited :)
