I was happy and having a great life with my boyfriend but all of a sudden something switched. I'm depressed, irritated, anxious... my heart hurts my chest hurts and I just keep screaming in my head to stop myself from thinking and spiraling downwards. I'm usually good at recognizing what's bothering me but I cant figure it out. Does anyone else have sudden mood swings like this that last more than just one day? I feel bad for my boyfriend... I cant figure out what's wrong i keep randomly crying and he thinks it's because he did something but the true and honest answer is I have no clue why I'm like this!

Are you Bipolar? I am and I get sudden mood changes.

AnxiousCanuck 01/03/2020

I'm not bipolar. I can usually keep emotions under control but the last few days are weird

I'd take a break and rest a bit. You might just sort yourself out all on its own. I'd get a good workout in, hot shower and then 8 hours in the sack (bed for you non-military types). Do sort of a reset and see if you are still feeling the same.

How long were you guys together before you felt this way? Maybe you are in a rutt or feel like you are not progressing. Not growing. Maybe feeling is not new and exciting anymore.

Thanks, we've been together for almost 2 years and we are looking into getting a place together. The more I think of that I start fearing he'll start thinking about not wanting to be with me and it might end. Theres no hinting that he doesn't love me anymore but I'm afraid he might all of a sudden not love me

You might be creating your own demons and the pressure is coming to a head. Especially if it has been a constant worry. It could be a subconscious reaction now. You need to not fear the unknown. You don't know if and when things fail so why dwell on it? You have to enjoy what you have while its present. Leave the unknown where it's at.

You're right scared. It's so hard to change your mindset. I'm working on it but I need some guidance

I hope we are ab to give some insight and provide some comfort to you. It is so hard to break a mindset but like allot of things they are learned. It's time to try to learn a different outlook. Those thoughts come to your mind you have to counter them with logic and the truth.
