Hi Samdale,

Sounds like a rough space to be in....you didn't mention if you are on medication or not....hoping you might get some help there. BP can be frustrating to tame but it can be done please don't lose sight of that....call you doctor and see if something can't help you.

This is a great place to give and get support and learn about th ins and outs of BP....(((((hugs))))))

Welcome to the forum, Sam.

I don't know why, either, but it keeps happening to me, as well, no matter how much I try to willpower my way to having only pleasant emotions. I get further by channeling and processing my emotions as they come rather than trying to bend them to my preferences. My emotions seem to have preferences of their own. But that is me. . .

Gentle support while you figure out what it is for you, Sam. Welcome aboard.

This is the unfortunate. It can be changed. Get in contact with your doctor. I've had similar instability issues and it takes nonstop trying until you find the right place, meds, and attitudes. I've been through similar stability issues in 2016. Keep getting in to see your doc until things get leveled out. Therapy.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
