How stable is your mood generally?

Generally steady except for the occasional evening where I can’t face talking to anyone, making eye contact with anyone, feel really stressed and anxious for no obvious reason. Sometimes going for a long run sorts this out, sometimes it doesnt

Mood is really volatile, though tends towards the anxious and low. Hate it.

I can swing dramatically from down and low to very happy, if I get into something. Generally more low though and my low spells can last a long time.

generally low and cynical, have a few good months and think everything might be fine, but then, no, back to low and cynical for another year or so.

Extremely volatile. Constant rollercoaster, anything can set me off (upwards or downwards) :grimacing:

I’m right at the end of Leo so basically don’t really count as one, maybe that’s why I don’t feel like I belong

I generally think that I switch between genuine happy moments and drawn out mellowness…but when I look back at periods where things have gone significantly wrong, its clear that my mood was beginning to spiral way before that (but I can rarely see this at the time). Getting to know the signs better has definitely helped me…but yeah, I think outwardly it’s hard to tell the difference between me being OK and starting to struggle

You are a proud lion- very stubborn but charming and admired by many.

Serious answer, ups and downs like everyone but age brings with it two things (for women anyway)-

  1. A better handle on the sine wave that is the ebb and flow of human emotion and cycles of feelings and coping mechanisms and stuff. and acceptance. A lot of acceptance, which is incredibly freeing.
  2. Hormones which can totally fuck you up but also make you feel more alive that you’ve ever felt- it’s like a second puberty in many ways. I’ve gone back on the pill to drown it out and it’s a relief (although I miss the hormonal mania a bit tbh.)
